Management
Ownership
Microsoft’s security model doesn’t permit to give ownership to someone, only to take it. That way an admin (or otherwise privileged user) cannot take ownership of a file inaccessible to her directly, access or modify it, and give it back to the original owner without notice to the original owner.
