[ckan-dev] Change dataset owner ('creator_user_id')

Sun Aug 26 23:12:06 UTC 2018

Dear Nathan

Thanks a lot for your help but I do need to change the "creator_user_id" because of the custom authorization we have in our portal.
We allow editors to edit only their own datasets (so the ones where they are the creators), so for the (exceptional) case an editor leaves the organization, we need to find a way to transfer them to other user, which means changing "creator_user_id".

For what I see, it is only a single field change in the DB ("package"."creator_user_id") but maybe someone knows more about it. Alternatively I can maybe extend the action API and write a "package_creator_user_id_update" :)

Best,
Lucia

Hi Lucia,

Apologies for replying to this outside of the CKAN Dev list - I get the digest mode and wasn't sure how to respond to the exact email.

Anyway - I think you might be after the "owner_org" not the "creator_user_id" -- have you tried this particular API endpoint:

http://docs.ckan.org/en/ckan-2.7.3/api/#ckan.logic.action.update.package_owner_org_update

That might get you want you need.

All the best,
Nathan.
