Hi @Rahaman,

An ERC777 doesn’t have an owner unless you add ownership to your contract.

An ERC777 can have default operators that are set at the time of deployment.

Hi @Rahaman,

Apologies, I had missed your followup question.

For how to use Ownable, please see the documentation: [https://docs.openzeppelin.com/contracts/3.x/access-control#ownership-and-ownable](https://docs.openzeppelin.com/contracts/3.x/access-control#ownership-and-ownable)

We can set the `defaultOperators` in the constructor of our ERC777 contract: [https://docs.openzeppelin.com/contracts/3.x/api/token/erc777#ERC777-constructor-string-string-address---](https://docs.openzeppelin.com/contracts/3.x/api/token/erc777#ERC777-constructor-string-string-address---)
