the group is by default the staff group I believe.

You can sudo chown :staff ds* for example which after the admin pw will change
all files and folders beginning with ds in the current directory (it does not
push this down if any subfolders have been changed.)

I recommend using Server Admin to change things and push them down otherwise.
