capability required to edit objects via rest api

While sending a rest api request to change the owner of a knowledge object i am getting the following error "You do not have permission to share objects at the system level" even though the user has "sc_admin" role. Is there any specific capability that is missing that is needed for this ?

Hi

it seems that this feature has documented on Splunk Enterprise REST API User Manual only. I cannot find that manual for splunk cloud. I suppose that feature is now available for anyone else than users which have admin role? In SCP that role is restricted for Splunk Cloud Ops team only, not for any customers.

If need you can create a support ticket and ask is this a valid assumption?
