Hello,

is it possible to change document ownership in alfresco share?

Consider the following: User A created a directory and a bunch of documents. Now User B takes over User A's duties, and thus should become the owner of these documents.

(1) Is it possible to take document ownership in Alfresco Share, if the User B that is trying to take the ownership is *not* site admin?
(2) Is it possible for the Site Manager to change document ownership (i.e., not take it, but change it from User A to User B)?
(3) If the answer to both is "no", is it possible for the Site Admin (or the admin in general) to change document ownership in Alfresco Explorer?

Thanks in advance for any hints.

Hi,

As far as I know it is not possible to change ownership through Share and by using Explorer admin can take the ownership over the document but cannot set someone else as document owner.
To solve your problem you will need to implement this functionality in Share (i.e. custom web script, using OwnableService and setOwner method).

Hope this helps,
