[vg324y@ulpv0143 ~]$ chown root hello.txt

chown: changing ownership of `hello.txt': Operation not permitted

[vg324y@ulpv0143 ~]$ chown ia982p hello.txt

chown: changing ownership of `hello.txt': Operation not permitted
[vg324y@ulpv0143 ~]$

Also, the files are not having the immutable bit set.

[vg324y@ulpv0143 ~]$ lsattr hello.txt
-------------e- hello.txt

Could someone please help resolving the above?

Have you tried using sudo? Like

sudo chown ia982p hello.txt

Further, you can change the immutable bit by using the chattr command:

chattr +i hello.txt for setting it and

chattr -i hello.txt for unsetting the immutable flag

After executing the first command, your immutable flag should be set:

# lsattr hello.txt ----i-------- hello.txt

I hope that's the solution to your problem!
