Block Storage Permissions Issue

Asked by Tim Gavin
I’ve set up a block storage volume (/mnt/media) and can access it via SSH and SFTP. However, I can not add files to the volume from my app as it’s owned by root; I receive a permission denied error.
How can I update the permission so that the site owner can store and view files in /mnt/media?

I did this
sudo chown forge:forge /mnt/mediaand, of course, it works. I just wanted to check if that is the right thing to do on a block storage volume.
