Group permissions ? |

Good day,
curious why members of the same group can not chown/chmod files owned by the
group ?
Example:
Files are in /tmp and ls -ld on /tmp shows;
drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 4096 Aug 3 12:16 /tmp
These are the two files in /tmp. Different owners, same group.
-rwxrwxr-x 1 user1 staff 499 Aug 3 12:08 df_k
-rwxrwxr-x 1 user2 staff 12579 Aug 3 12:16 ps_ef
When I execute chmod/chown I get this result;
address@hidden 777 ps_ef
chmod: changing permissions of `ps_ef': Operation not permitted
address@hidden root:root ps_ef
chown: changing ownership of `ps_ef': Operation not permitted
address@hidden
Any idea's why I am unable to do this ?
Thanks for any assistance.
