Coding: Feature to change survey owner

completed by: Kshitij

mentors: Carsten Schmitz, Machaven

 

Currently it is not possible (or limited possible) to change the owner of a survey.

This should be anhanced.

 

Task details:

 

  • People who should be allowed to change the owner of a survey are super administrators (for all surveys) and survey owners (for their owned surveys).
  • It should be possible to transfer the ownership to any available  user in the system.
  • If a user is deleted and he did own any surveys it should be asked to which person the ownership should be transferred. By default the deleting person should be pre-selected.
  • Find a good place in the GUI to implement the owner change. Suggestion: if you use /admin/admin.php?action=listsurveys then there is a column which shows the owner. This would be imho a good place where permitted persons are allowed to change the owner (maybe some cool AJAX editing feature?). All other persons just see the current owner.
