Changing the Page Owner
On this page:
Introduction
The owner of a page is typically the user that created the page initially.
The user that owns the page receives some special considerations and always has permissions to view and edit the page, even if that user would be excluded from such actions when setting page permissions. This is intentional, and you can read more about this here.
IMPORTANT!
This effectively means that if you mark a page as "administrators" only for example, the owner of a page would still have access to the page, even if they are not an administrator.
Page Notifications
Additionally, on Jira Server/Data Center, the owner of a page always receives notifications whenever a page is changed, unless notifications have been specifically disabled for the app in general.
Changing the Page Owner from the Page List
To change the owner of a page either select the "Change owner" action from the Page List actions dropdown.
Changing the Page Owner via the Page Header
You can also change the page owner using the actions menu in the page header.
Change Page Owner Dialog
The dialog that shows up presents a simple user-picker with typeahead that allows searching for Jira users.
Simply type the user's name and select it from the autocomplete dropdown. Once you're satisfied with the selection, click the Change Owner button, and the page owner is immediately changed.
