context.manage_addLocalRoles is not what I was looking for, it's more of a work-around. And I was hoping to avoid fiddling with the source code. It breaks upgrades released by Zope. Thanks all, I was hoping for an easy answer. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Withers [mailto:chrisw@nipltd.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2003 14:20 To: Paavo Parkkinen Cc: 'zope@zope.org' Subject: Re: [Zope] Give Ownership Paavo Parkkinen wrote:

I know I can "take ownership" of objects, but is there a convenient way to "give ownership" to someone?

context.manage_addLocalRoles(username, ['role'])

I'm such a moron. Of course 'role' should be 'Owner'.

That's the same as the Owner role Andreas was talking about, I don't think it's "Ownership" of the sense that Samir was talking about. Not sure you can 'give' ownership. If you really had to, I'd probably do it as an external method and take a look at the code for the "take ownership" method and adapt that...
