Hi, I tried to find a way to change the ownership of an item in FME Server using REST API. There seems to be no possibility?
Page 1 / 1
When I test in the GUI (Security, Items, Repositories, check Repository, hit Change Owner, select other user, OK) it does a PUT on https://fmeservername.com/fmerest/v3/security/categories/Repositories/resources/repositoryname
The body is
{
    "owner": "newowner",
    "clientID": "repositoryname",
    "displayName": "repositoryname",
    "rolePermissions": i{
        "permissions": e"REPOSITORY_DOWNLOAD", "REPOSITORY_READ", "REPOSITORY_WRITE", "REPOSITORY_EXECUTE", "REPOSITORY_DELETE"],
        "name": "user:oldowner"
    }],
    "roles": "user:user:oldowner"],
    "name": "repositoryname",
    "category": "Repositories"
}So I think you need:
PUT /security/categories/< category >/resources/< resource > Replace resource metadata

O wow, it works (if you replace the "user:user" by "user"). Thanks Niels!
