This is what I have so far
grep -lir "some text" *
I need to check all files on the system for this text, if the text is found I need to change the file permissions so only ROOT has read and write access.
How can this be done?

grep -lir "some text" * |
while IFS= read -r file
do
chown root "$file"
chmod go-rw "$file"
done
Thanks very much! Exactly what I was looking for
How could I modify so instead of being statically set to "some text" it accepted some input text into the prompt for the search of this text.
Thanks!
Either accept the text as a parameter on the command line and use the positional parameters:
grep -lir "$1" * |
...
or prompt for the text:
printf "Enter string to search for: "
IFS= read -r text
grep -lir "$text" * |
...
