Give away/set owner of items

[Jari Häkkinen]

In ticket:348 take ownership was added to BASE, why is set ownership functionality missing?

We have a use case where we need a set ownership feature. At the facility we add a lot of data into a project as a specific facility user. At delivery of the project we would like to be able to change the ownership of most of the collected data in BASE to the receiving party. In the item view for a given project it would simply be to select the items one wants to change ownership for, click a button opening a dialogue where the receiver is chosen.

The set ownership is a general thing and should appear in different views similarly to the take ownership button. The set ownership privileges should be given to administrator role only for fresh installs.

I think the easiest way to implement this functionality is to change the "Take ownership" button to "Change owner" on all places were it is present. Then, in the dialog that is currently handling the take-ownership functionality, we should add an option to select another user.

There exists a workaround for this problem.

1. Share all items that should be given away to the project and to the user. Give the the user "Take ownership" permission.
2. Log-in as the other user, activate the project and go to the project page that is listing all items in the project. Select all items and click on the "Take ownership" button.
3. To clean up, remove the "Take ownership" permissions for the user.
