How does one transfer ownership of a page from one user to another?

[TK]

What level of administration is required for transferring ownership of a page from one user to another? I am an administrator of a space, but I didn't create the space. Is there some setting I need to request to be activated or turned on by the cloud administrators?

hello @TK and welcome to the Community!  Page owners can be updated at any time by the current page owner, space admin or site admin.

Hi Laurie, thanks for the prompt reply. Unfortunately, I'm not seeing that option nor are my regular users.

@TK Are you saying that:

1. There is no ellipsis button next to the Owned by line in View mode?
2. When you hover over the ellipsis button, you don't see the Manage page ownership tooltip?
3. When you click the ellipsis button, you don't see the Change owner button?

I am the owner of the page I used in this screenshot above.

When I go to a page created by another user in the same Space, I see the same because I am the Space Administrator.

When I go to a page in another Space that I have no privileges on and go to a page created by another user, I see a More details tooltip on hover and Created by <created> on <date> when I click the ellipsis. I cannot change the ownership because I'm not the page owner, space admin, or site admin.

@Barbara Szczesniak Correct, plus I don't see an Owned by. I see Created by on every page. I don't have the Manage page ownership and now I think I know why. I am using Data Center, not Cloud, so my guess is I don't have the same functionality as what you've shared.

Well, that would explain it I guess. I did a quick search, and there doesn't seem to be a way to do this in Data Center. You could try searching questions for this to see if anyone else has found a workaround, plug-in, or other way to accomplish this.
