Change ownership of 100's of items

DanikBourdeau1

I need to change the ownership of one user's items to another.  There are hundreds items though.  What is the best way to do this?  I can't seem to find a way to select all of a user's items.

Hi Danik, 

Thanks for the question, As for the interface, a user themselves, or an Administrator, can manage other users Items to change owner.  The table view will allow you to view and select up to 16 items at a time to manage.

As a note, the ArcGIS Ideas page would be a good place to talk about adding functionality to allow more than 16 items on the content page. One Idea looks to already exist.

- ArcGIS Online - seeing more of My Content 

For now, It would be simplest to do 16 at a time in the interface until the task is complete. I'm not a skilled coder so that way would be faster than trying to develop with my own way using the REST API. For instance a skilled coder could use the Search function to find a list of items, then pass them to reassign.

Search—ArcGIS REST API: Users, groups, and content | ArcGIS for Developers 

Reassign Item—ArcGIS REST API: Users, groups, and content | ArcGIS for Developers 

I hope this helps.
