    koushikniranjan I heard back from an Engineer who works with message creation/editing. We don't currently support changing the original author of any message via UI or API. We do have a similar business story in our backlog to cover use cases like

    • As a Community Manager, when the author of an article leaves the community, I want to assign another member as the owner so that the article is updated regularly and maintained.
    • As a Blogs Lead, I want the draft an article and publish on behalf of a CXO/Senior leader so that the author of the article is shown as CXO.

    It seems like this would work for your use case as well and I will add a reference to this point in the ticket. The story hasn't been picked up yet, though, and we don't have a timeframe for when it will be.

koushikniranjan I just want to verify that the user koushikniranjan has permission to post messages. In the meantime, I'm checking with our Engineering team to track down more information on this endpoint or see if there is another option.

Hi SuzieH ,

I have permissions to post messages and have done it in the past. My ID has community admin access.
