At the moment, Document Ownership can only be reassigned by the owner or by an admin.
We're keeping tight reins on admin permissions (because of the "Delete Your Space Without Possibility of Undo" button). It's going to cause us significant headache if every request for ownership change of our thousands of docs has to pass through one of three site admins, especially as we're currently migrating INTO confluence and need about 2,000 ownership changes.
We would like users in general to be able to reassign ownership, even if they are not the current owner.
Is there any workaround that would allow us to reassign Document Ownership without an admin intervention? I've looked at automations, but they make you specify the owner in the automation.
@Alex Sramek Very good timing! :-)
Just this morning, Atlassian announced that it is possible to change the owner through the REST API! If you are migrating a large amount of contents, it may worth to write a little script to migrate the owners. It may require running the script with admin permissions, but it is still more realistic than having 2000 manual intervention by a human admin.
Or, if you consider smarter alternative, then the Better Content Archiving app has a better page owner concept!
