Changing the owner of a project
===============================

To change the owner of a project:

#. Collect the project name, the user name of the previous owner, and the user
   name of the new owner.

#. Run the ``wakari-server`` executable command ``wk-server-admin``:

   .. code-block:: bash

      /opt/wakari/wakari-server/bin/wk-server-admin project-owner --project PROJECT --old OLD_OWNER --new NEW_OWNER --delete --keep-owner

- PROJECT: The project name.
- OLD_OWNER: The user name of the previous owner.
- NEW_OWNER: The user name of the new owner.
- ``--delete``: An optional flag that deletes the old project directory in the
  ``projects`` directory of OLD_OWNER. If this flag is not used, the old
  project directory is preserved but no longer used.
- ``--keep-owner``: An optional flag that makes OLD_OWNER a collaborator of the
  project after it is transferred to NEW_OWNER. If this flag is not used,
  OLD_OWNER will no longer have collaborator access to the project.

NOTE: The OLD_OWNER user must still exist when the project's owner is changed.
Before deleting any user, be sure to change the owner of the user's projects.
