Does anyone know of a module, or best practice, for moving nodes from one user to another? The use case is that we have staff that change responsibilities occasionally, and we'd like to move a set of pages to the user who is taking over the subject area of the pages.
TIA,
Mark

Another approach would be to
Another approach would be to use (additional) roles to define privileges for editing pages associated with certain subject areas. Then either create and use different content types for the additional subject areas (not much help for existing content) or use taxonomy to tag pages with the subject area and use one of the taxonomy access modules to assign permissions to roles based on taxonomy terms. Sounds complicated but is quite straightforward once you get the hang of it.
Might or might not be worth it, depending on your situation.
