Change Owner all vm's in repository

[sander93]

Hello,

I used the root user for back-up, but i wan't to change it to a seperate user with the role DatastoreBackup.

i found you can change the owner with:
proxmox-backup-client change-owner vm/id new-user --repository localhost:datastore

But is there some way to change all back-up onwers at once? i have more then 170 vm's where i need to change the owner.

i tried vm/* but this isn't working.

Kind regards,

Sander

not via the API/GUI/CLI. the owner is stored in a file called 'owner' inside the backup group though, so..

oke so i need to do it one by one?

yes, either by scripting the client or by scripting modifications to those files (the latter is obviously more dangerous if you get it wrong)
