chgrp -R | chmod +t sticky bit | chown --reference=file2 file1

change the group of documents to editor
user1@ubuntu:~$ chgrp -R editor documents

 Sticky bit can protect these file from deletion. When sticky bit is set, only the owner or a user with root privileges can delete a file.
Additionally, sticky bit works only with directories and is ignored on ordinary files.


user1@ubuntu:~$ chmod +t documents
When user1 creates a file, the default permissions are limited to user1 and its private group (user1) named after the user account. This is the reason user2 sees Permission denied on editing file. By changing the group of documents to editor we allow all members of editor to read and write to files in documents.


To change ownership of a file, use the following command:
$chown newuser filename
To change the owner as well as the group of file, use the following command:
$chown newuser:newgroup filename
You can skip changing owner and change only the group with the following command:
$chown :newgroup filename
Note that the chown command can only be used by users with root privileges.
