How can a admin can change the KB article ownership?

[GB14]

We have over 1000 articles written by an ex-employee and we would to change those to the application owner now. 

If we checkout an article, we cannot see the author option. 

Any suggestions? 

Thanks.

Open the article then right click in the gray header.  Choose Configure > Form Layout.  You should then be able to add author.

However with that many article you may want to write a script to change them all.

Hi Gurbir,

You can add the 'author' field to the form via form designer. If you want to mass KBs to a particular user, you can use the following via background script.

var kbauth = new GlideRecord('kb_knowledge');
kbauth.query();
kbauth.setValue('author','sys_id of user');
kbauth.updateMultiple();
