How to bulk reassign pages/space creator from one person who's gone to me?

Question

Hello

We have many Pages and Space created by someone in my department that is no longer with us, now, all those still showing this person's name when he's no longer with us and he left in a very bad way. So, the Executive asked me to reassign all those pages/spaces to myself in order to remove him from there. Is this possible? If yes, how please?

Thanks,

Anthony

Hi @Anthony Pena and welcome!

Currently this is not possible, see this Suggestion, which you can vote on and watch.

There does not seem to be a firm date on the ability to change owners of Confluence pages. It's currently under development, I am told, and they are hoping that we'll see it on the roadmap at the next update.

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Confluence does not have the concept of a page "owner" - pages belong to the space owners.

The author is not the owner.

The author of a page is the person who created it, and that should never be changed.  You rarely want to destroy the information of who created a document, and it's illegal in a lot of cases too.  The "owner" is a different concept.

You should tell your Executives that the author of a page is an audit item, the ownership is a function of space ownership (for now)
