This feature enables a site field is intended to use a collection properties entry for support easier tracking of ownership/responsibility for file _data_ found in collections ("who was responsible for uploading these files to Arvados?") even after the collections are modified and copied/moved from one project to another. The feature will In general, the rules about when this field can be activated by configuring two new API behaviors. updated might be configurable. <pre><code class="yaml"> assign_initial_owner_to_property: responsible_person_uuid</code></pre> In the specific case we are looking to support: * When creating a new collection, if the caller has not provided a value for this key in the properties hash, it “data owner” is automatically populated with set to the UUID of the user who owns [the parent of …] the containing project. * The default config value is nil (no special behavior). <pre><code class="yaml"> protected_properties: [responsible_person_uuid]</code></pre> When updating a collection, the given entries in the properties hash “data owner” field cannot be changed by users. * When copying a non-admin user, even collection, clients should copy the collection's owner. Attempting to do so results in a 403 error. The default is “data owner” field as well, rather than using the empty array (no special behavior). Supporting this, we should provide some example admin scripts: owner of the destination project. * List UUIDs/names of The field must be filterable (“list all collections with no responsible_person_uuid property value data owner = X”). * Update the responsible_person_uuid property from nil to X on all collections in the project hierarchy rooted at P, where P A bulk-update procedure is a user UUID or a group UUID. * Update the responsible_person_uuid property needed (“update data owner from X to Y on in all collections where it is X. We should also confirm that Workbench/Workbench2 preserve the properties hash when copying a collection. collections”).
