Changing the owner of a project#

To change the owner of a project:

  1. Collect the project name, the user name of the previous owner, and the user name of the new owner.

  2. Run the wakari-server executable command wk-server-admin:

    /opt/wakari/wakari-server/bin/wk-server-admin project-owner --project PROJECT --old OLD_OWNER --new NEW_OWNER --delete --keep-owner

  • PROJECT: The project name.

  • OLD_OWNER: The user name of the previous owner.

  • NEW_OWNER: The user name of the new owner.

  • --delete: An optional flag that deletes the old project directory in the projects directory of OLD_OWNER. If this flag is not used, the old project directory is preserved but no longer used.

  • --keep-owner: An optional flag that makes OLD_OWNER a collaborator of the project after it is transferred to NEW_OWNER. If this flag is not used, OLD_OWNER will no longer have collaborator access to the project.

NOTE: The OLD_OWNER user must still exist when the project’s owner is changed. Before deleting any user, be sure to change the owner of the user’s projects.
