That's exactly what "owner" implies.
The resource belongs to them and they have the ability to do what they
will with it.

Subject: RE: Share and NTFS permissions

We have found an issue with giving full rights to the share:
        The NTFS file owner can still change permissions.

The creator of a file is the owner and has the ability to change NTFS
permissions on that file/folder, regardless of what the existing NTFS
rights are!
This allows the file creator to alter the permissions either blocking
access or giving excess permissions.

A solution in this case is to create the share with Everyone( or
Authenticated Users/Given group...) Change rights and Administrators
FULL Control. NTFS is then set as desired. Limiting the share to
Change prevents the owner from modifying NTFS rights if accessing the
file through the share, but leaves everything else.
