I'm running Drupal 4.6 with og.module. I have created ~150 nodes with UID=1, which I would like now to be owned by UID=7. In hindsight, I don't want to be using UID=1 for everyday tasks, only higher-level admin functions.

Is performing this mass-change of ownership as easy as updating the node table? I can change all instances of UID=1 to UID=7 with a simple SQL query.

Or is doing this asking for trouble?

I tried searching the Drupal.org fora, but found no definitive answer.

Thanks in advance,
Bjorn

I don't know whether doing a mass change will cause problems, but you can edit each node and change the author to the desired user. With 150 nodes, that should not be too difficult.

Wow, this very old post ranks very high in google search, at least for the keywords I used.

This is very easy to do in the modern era of Drupal with the Views Bulk Operations module which works with both Drupal 6 and 7.
