/opt/splunk ownership

Hi,

 

If anyone can help me with this it would be truly helpful. I'm currently practicing to become a Splunk architect and I'm having an issue with file ownership on Linux Ubuntu. I changed Splunk's ownership to the dedicated Splunk account I created but it only changes that specific folder and not all the contents in it can anyone give me a cool little command to make everything under the Splunk folder owned by the Splunk account I created for Splunk management/

Regards,
