Transfer ownership to another user using API.

Venkatesh

We have requirement that we need to transfer ownership to another user using API. I didnt get any API for transferring ownership to another user.

but i got one RemoveUser API. i tried with the api

https://smartsheet.redoc.ly/tag/users#operation/remove-user

But i got the below error while using the above api

Invoke-WebRequest : { "errorCode" : 5666, "message" : "This person is managed from your directory service. Please delete them through your directory
service instead.", "refId" : "lxftbs" }

please let me know if there are permissions i need to add.

Hi @PilyushenkoD

Based on this error, it sounds like your organization may use Azure Directory to manage users. In this instance you will need to update their status within AD if you're an Azure AD Administrator. I would suggest pairing with your IT team to manage this.
