Hi @whitecat001,

you have to go in [Settings > All Configuration ]

then you have to

• select the app where the knowledge object are,
• select the ones to reassign,
• click on the Reassign Knowldge Objects button (top right).

Ciao.

Thanks for the quick response but i will like to achieve this through  the cli and also the user changed her name and will want the new name to be applied to the knowledge object

Hi @whitecat001,

You have to go in the $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/yur_app/metadata/local.meta and manually update the owners of the files.

I'd use the GUI!

Ciao.
