Hi,

 

I've been tasked to decommission our old (and no longer utilised) Document management system (Objective, only historical data in it).

 

My question is whether there's a way to upload a series of roughly 30K documents programmatically in such a manner that they don't appear to be owned by me when I'm done, but rather either w/ the actual owner (if they still work w/ us) or with their successor (or team lead).

 

Cheers,

Andrej

  Hello ,

   

  when an APP is created it allows to enable two specific features:

  - Perform actions as Users

  - Generate user access tokens

   

  Both of them allow you to make actions in name of any user. In theory it is stated that it is for development purposes but I understand can be used in PROD if everybody accepts that on the company.

   

  Btw, for the first option it is needed (I think) that box enables a specific flag. For the second one you only need to authenticate with JWT and indicate which user are you using.

   

  Regards
