NodeOwner vs DocumentCreatedByUserID and setting through API

I have the situation where one user is creating a document that a different user will own, or the ownership of existing documents is transferred from one user to another. I was hoping to use the NodeOwner or DocumentCreatedByUserID, but I do not see how I can set this value through the API.

Example 1:
Node1 (owned by user A)
-- Node2 (created by user B, owned by user A)

Example 2:
Node1 (owned by user A)
-- Node2 (owned by user A)
transfer ownership from user A to user B, so that
Node1 (owned by user B)
-- Node2 (owned by user B)

I am using custom document types for Node1 and Node2, so I can create my own "owner" field if I need to, but I'd prefer to use the existing fields if possible. Any suggestions are appreciated.

RE:NodeOwner vs DocumentCreatedByUserID and setting through API

Hi,

you can use this API:

CMS.TreeEngine.TreeNode node = null;
        UserInfo ui = UserInfoProvider.GetUserInfo("administrator");
        CMS.TreeEngine.TreeProvider tree = new CMS.TreeEngine.TreeProvider(ui);

        node = tree.SelectSingleNode(EF);

        node.SetValue("NodeOwner", XY);
        node.SetValue("DocumentCreatedByUserID", AB);

Where EF, XY and AB are particular IDs.

Best regards,
Juraj Ondrus

I also found that when creating them, I can use the CMSForm control and set the Owner at that time -- great when creating new items or updating individual ones, but it wasn't going to work for non-UI driven updates.

Have you tried using the custom tree node handler when creating/updating the documents/nodes? Best regards, Juraj Ondrus
