Is there a way to change a folder owner from Ambari?

I created a folder in Ambari with owner "admin", but it should be "falcon". Is there a way to change it?

Not possible from Ambari File View, but you can use linux command to change it

	hdfs dfs -chown [-R] [OWNER][:[GROUP]] PATH...

Example:

	hdfs dfs -chown falcon /path/filename
