FME Server Workspace ownership

Thank you for contributing your idea to the FME Community!

The security model for FME Server does not track ownership at the workspace-level yet. It is only possible to re-assign ownership of Repositories in FME Server (and that can be done in the Web Interface: User Management > Items > Repositories). Note that if you remove/delete a user from FME Server, then you should be prompted to transfer ownership of items.

In order to implement your idea as it is currently presented, we will need to implement ownership/security at the workspace-level. I hope this helps! If I've misintrepeted anything, please do correct me!

(Any userName information associated with a workspace in FME Server, e.g. that can be obtained with the REST API, is only "who published it last" and might not be an accurate representation of "who owns it".)

Hi Rylan,

Thanks for the response. Yep, I am looking for ownership/security at the workspace level. Bascially I am looking for a way to track ownership/stewardship of workspaces in FME Server without having to do it manually in some external file, and a way to deal with transfer of ownership when a "User" moves onto other things, retires, etc. Currently you can query the FME Server postgres DB (or use the API) to get the name of the user that uploaded the workspace into FME server, like you said, "who published it last". If I delete a User from FME server, I do get prompted to transfer ownership, but that name associated to the workspace (who published it last) stays same.
