drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 4096 Jan 16 02:15 <dir-name>
But I want:
drwxr-xr-x 14 <user> <user> 4096 Jan 16 02:15 <dir-name>

You can chmod a file/folder sudo chmod 777 <folder> will allow read/write/execute bits for anyone on the system. This however can be a security issue. Read https://ss64.com/bash/chmod.html to find out more.
