Description

The canReassignItems operation checks whether the items owned by one user can be successfully reassigned to a specified user before performing the Reassign Items operation. Users assigned the default administrator role, or a custom role with administrative privileges, can perform this operation. The item owner can also use this operation; if the item owner that performs this operation is not a default administrator, or assigned a custom role with administrative privileges, they must have the portal:user:reassignItems privilege assigned to them to transfer content to another user.

Request parameters

ParameterDetails

items

A comma-separated list of item IDs that will have their ownership transferred. The maximum number of items that can be transferred at one time is 100.

Example:

Use dark colors for code blocksCopy
1
items=0000737d2de44ea0a275a7fceba4da73

targetUsername

The username of the user the items will be reassigned to. For a user to be eligible to receive transferred content, they must meet the following requirements:

  • The user must be assigned the portal:user:receiveItems privilege to receive the transferred content.
  • The user must have a user type that allows them to own content. To learn more about user types, see the User types, roles, and privileges topic.
  • If the items being transferred to the user are shared with a group, the user receiving the items must be a member of the group. If the group is a view-only group, the user receiving the items must be the group owner or a group manager.

If the above requirements are not met, an error response will be returned.
