# Updating the API project ownership

Use the Talend Cloud API Tester management API to change a test project's owner.

Information noteNote: You can only have one owner for a test project, and the owner must be a user and not a group.

## Before you begin

* You are the owner of the test project that you want to edit.
* You have the test project ID.
* You have the new owner's user ID.

## Procedure

1. Create a new request.
2. In the METHOD drop-down list, select PUT.
3. Enter the following URI with the correct region, and replace {testId} with the project ID retrieved in [Fetching your API project ID](https://help.qlik.com/talend/en-US/api-user-guide/Cloud/fetching-your-api-project-id):

   https://apit.{region}.cloud.talend.com/api/v1/api-tests/{testId}/sharings

   The region can be:
   * us-west
   * us
   * eu
   * ap
   * au

   For more information, see [Accessing Talend Cloud applications](https://help.qlik.com/talend/en-US/installation-guide-windows/Cloud/talend-cloud-application-url).
4. Click the Add header button and enter Authorization in the name field and Bearer followed by a space and your token in the value field.

   Information noteTip: In Talend Cloud API Tester, you can add your token as a private environment variable and reference it in your requests using the expression builder. For more information, see [Using environments](https://help.qlik.com/talend/r/en-US/Cloud/api-tester-user-guide/using-environments).
5. Enter the body of the request.

   In this example, you want to add a new user as owner and still have access to the project a editor. To do that, take the IDs retrieved in [Fetching user IDs](https://help.qlik.com/talend/en-US/api-user-guide/Cloud/fetching-user-ids) and replace <new owner user ID> with the new owner's user ID and <old owner user ID> with your user ID.
   ```
   {
     "users": [
       {
         "userId": "<new owner user ID>",
         "level": {
           "code": "OWNER"
         }
       },
       {
         "userId": "<old owner user ID>",
         "level": {
           "code": "WRITER"
         }
       }
     ]
   }
   ```
6. Once your request is configured, click Send.

## Results

The API test project's sharing settings are updated. To check that the owner was correctly updated, you can send a GET request to the https://apit.{region}.cloud.talend.com/api/v1/api-tests/{testId}/sharings URI if you still have access to the project.
