      Hi Atlassian,

      in many cases, we have the need to change the author/owner of a page. In most of the cases, responisiblity changes or persons come and go. In other cases, pages are created by our support, due to complex imports or similar actions.

      The impact of page ownership is massive, as you know. We struggle with the archiving plugin for ex, which tends to produce spam to all contributors, if it is not the author who is to be notified.

      By now, the only supported workaround is recreating the page and moving all subpages, which is complicated and has many drawbacks (linking for ex).

      It would be very helpful if changing the owner of a page could be a simple task for confluence-administrators, space-admins and the current owners of the pages.

      I thank you in advance for your consideration.

      Best wishes

      Matin

            FYI, after searching around various answers on similar questions.  There was a post to this paid plugin to change the owner of a page.
            (disclaimer: I have not used this plug in to see how successful it is in updating. But I don't see any reason why one can't use the plug-in for only a month to change the pages, then don't renew subscription.)

            Here is some background on how to create a query to do it yourself.
