Question Help with file permissions and file ownerships

Hi,
I've a query regd file permissions and file ownerships.

Say for example i've 2 users - user1 and user2, then
a. The ownership of the files created by user1 has to be transferred to user2
b. File permissions has to be set such that user2 only has read,write,execute permissions and all others has only read access.

I guess using chown and chgrp, we can change the ownership of the files (please correct me if any other method is available). But how to set file permissions also as required.

Kindly appreciate your help in this.

Thank You.

NAME
dspam_merge - merge several users' metadata into a composite SYNOPSIS
dspam_merge [--profile=PROFILE] user1 user2 ... userN -o username DESCRIPTION
dspam_merge merges several users' metadata into a single user's dictionary. This tool is designed to create global users and seeded data. The hit sounds for each token and per-user totals are added together to produce a single composite dataset. After creating a composite user, dspam_clean should be run with the -p option to clean up extraneous data. NOTE : Merges may take a considerable amount of time. This could potentially increase the load on the server or even slow down the delivery of email. A merge should only be performed when the system is fairly acquiesce. OPTIONS
--profile=PROFILE Specify a storage profile from dspam.conf. The storage profile selected will be used for all database connectivity. See dspam.conf for more information. user1 user2 ... userN A list of users to merge together. -o username The target user which will be created (if necessary). This user will contain the composite generated by the merge. EXAMPLES
dspam_merge dick jane spot -o ralph Merges the metadata dictionaries of dick, jane, and spot into a single composite under the user ralph EXIT VALUE
