Hi, everyone !

I’ve Tryton on my Ubuntu Server. When I upload attachments (files), those files take the owner “root”, but I need a different owner. How can I change the default owner?

They owner of the files is the user running your server.  
You just need to change the user running the server and the files will be stored using this user as owner.

And there is no reason to run trytond under root and many reasons not to.
