I'm not sure if this will work or not but it's worth the try right? sudo chown [groupaname]:[username] [filename] sudo chmod 777 [filename] u can use -R in both commands for recursive if you are using a directory instead of file name // just a tip, if u can't open rar files you can install the package 'rar' or 'unrar' , never tried the first one, i always install unrar i dunno if it installs the other one with it or what, i just read about it.
