I'd certainly give that a +1. Seems like pretty
necessary functionality.
Also, to be able to transfer ownership of all items belonging to a user
(useful when someone leaves your organisation and you need to transfer
their "stuff" to someone else).
Note that you can remove a user without having to transfer any ownership and you don’t
need to be the creator of a page to be allowed to modify it or have permissions on it.
Also, even if someone leaves a company they’re still the creator of the pages they created
(in reality, this can never be removed, they’ll always be the creator of that page, even
if you try to hide it ;)).
Personally I don’t see this feature as a necessary one. I’m curious: why do you think it’s
necessary? :)
Thanks
