I need to change the ownership of some workspace apps to another user. The reason is that the user has left the company, the user does not exist in EntraID anymore and the ownership has to be transfered to another user.

Through the UI I cannot alter the ownership, so I have been trying to do it through REST.

using 

{{baseUrl}}/fmeapiv4/apps/workspaces/{{appId}}

I can execute a PUT with adjustments to “owner” and “ownerID”. The request executes with code 204 (No Content).
However, a subsequent GET request using the same url as I used for the PUT request returns the data for the app untouched and the old owner remains. So does the ownerID.

Is there any possibility for me to transfer ownership of a workspace app to another user?

Why are you not able to alter the owner in UI?

I have just gone to user management > Flow Workspace Apps > Change Owner

and changed an owner in FME Flow 2024.1

    I suspect you need to do a PUT /fmeapiv4/permissions/items/ServerApps/{appId}/ownerid

    with a payload like 

    {"ownerID":"{userId}"}

    At least that’s what the web UI is doing ;-)

    Because under ‘Actions’ for the selected workspace app I do not have the possibility to adjust the owner. In ‘Manage Workspace Apps’ I can only copy the app to clipboard or view it and within the app itself there are of course only the published parameters, and customize.

    My useraccount is member of roles fmesuperuser and fmeadmin… the rights should not prevent me from seing the option that you apparently have.
    The precise build of FME Flow is 24624.

      Ownership change is done under user management, items, not Manage Workspace apps
