Hi,

The Administrator is not able to change the author of items in the backend. I get this error message when I try:

"403 - An error has occurred.
You are not authorized to view this resource

Return to Control Panel"

I need the Administrator to be able to change the Author without giving them Super Admin rights. How can I accomplish this?

I am using Joomla v. 1.7.3
K2 v. 2.5.4

Thanks!

Now, this issue is becoming a pain in the neck, and no one of the genius developers of K2 wants to solve it.

Hi. Please update K2 to it's latest stable version ( 2.5.7 currently ) and see if that solves your issue.

:( I have the same problem. When I try to change author's name of article in the backend, I push "change author", then table of user open, i push the user, BUT HAPPENS NOTHING..What's wrong? How can I solve it? Thank's. :(

Check your page for javascript errors.

Same problem here: Administrator can't change the author by editing the article.

Hi,
Same problem: Administrator can't change the author by editing the article.

When I open an article and click the edit icon next to Auther, I am redirected to K2 Users.
When I select a user I get the message:
The entry "Super User" was added to the list.
It sounds so good
But,
There is a red button in the upper right named "Close" - nothing happens when I click on it.
It is subordinate to which user I choose as Author, the result is the same.

I can only get back to the article by using the browser's 'back' button.
When I return to the article, no Author has been added.

I use:
Joomla v. 3.9.11
K2 v. 2.9.1

What can I do to solve the problem?
Preferably an easy way since I'm not a programmer.

Thanks in advance :-)
