Re: how to revoke owner rights in a directory or file ?

Karen,
Typically, if you delete an user account which has security permissions on a
particular folder or file...it will show then as just the SID rather than
the name

To assign another person/account to be the "owner", that users account must
be assigned with security permissions "Full Control".

Then when you click on the ownship tab, you should see that account listed
as one who can take ownership.

Someone is going to have to be the owner, whether it's Administrator, the
current employee, or a special account you set up for this purpose. The
system will require files and folders have to have an owner, which is the
account that can control permissions regardless of other security
settings.
For example, someone could maliciously or accidentally set "everyone" to
"deny," effectively blocking all access to the data. In that case, the
owner would be the one to reset the permissions and regain access.

Those numbers are the SID of a deleted account. You should change the
owner
and delete that entry.
