Grant Ownership

I am running into the problem of reassigning ownership of spaces and content via the Web Client.While this is possible via Alfresco's APIs, the UI does not provide this capability.My current workaround is to remove the "read-only"-attribute from the property sheet of the "cmwnable" aspect in "/al

Hello Stefan,

I could achieve that using a Webscript.
Below is the js code:

function main() {

        //Assuming that the space is under Company Home
   var spaceName = url.templateArgs['spaceName'];
           
        var spaceNode = companyhome.childByNamePath(spaceName);

        logger.log(">>>>> Space Node  : " + spaceNode );
   logger.log(">>>>> Space Owner : " + spaceNode.getOwner() );
   spaceNode.setOwner('requiredUserName');
   logger.log(">>>>> Space Owner after setting : " + spaceNode.getOwner() );
   
}

main();‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I created a space under Company Home and wrote a WS which takes the 'SpaceName' as argument.

Hope so that helps you.

Let me try this with a 'Custom Action'.
