find /path/to/dir/ -user <user> -name "*.dat"

Also works with -group option for finding files which belong to a group

Use find -ls:

find /some/path -user username -ls

To find all files that belong to a particular user, use find / -user username. Then you can use ls -al on the individual files.

To list all files including their permissions you can use ls -al or to do so recursively ls -alr You can then filter those results with grep to get particular ones (such as ones owned by a username)

ls -alR | grep ' username '
