[GeoNode-users] Migrating objects from one user to another

[Francesco Bartoli]

Hi Benjamin,

  

I would opt for an approach where you can play with groups to assign layers
and maps permissions and then add and remove user from groups rather than to
each single user.

  

In such a way when a user leaves you can just delete him/her from the admin
console.

  

Francesco
