[Feature] Change / Transfer Owner permissions of Media

[mirisbowring]

The feature

Hi,

i started using immich more than a year ago. Initially, i moved most of our photos into my account to have them stored somewhere.
During the past months, more users have been onboarded onto my immich instance (family members, friends, etc.).
Now i have the case, that i have many photos that do not exactly belong to me (e.g. i digitized a photo dvd from my sisters birthday party when she was like 5). In my example, i still have good memories regarding this event, but those images should belong to her.

For now, if i detect images in my timeline that do belong to another user, i download them and upload them via cli into their account. This is not a good process.
Also some of my friends stumbled across the same thing.

Therofre my feature request is:

"I would like to be able to select media / albums and press an [change owner] button and select one of the existing users so that the images are beeing transferred to their library."

There are some questions that should be considered beforehand:

• Should the image just appear in the others user timeline without beeing noticed or should the user accept the transfer befor? Probably he don't even want those photos or another user is trolling by pushing many cats into another users timeline.

I would really love to see such a feature, too.

Possibly a duplicate of #1992?

I would also love to see this feature for Albums!
I dont think it makes a lot of sense to do this on a per-picture basis.
The Album-sharing feature already exists and has the permission/sharing gui already.

This way, when a new Owner gets promoted for an Album, it would simply "switch around" so the previous owner becomes an "Editor" and now has the album under his "shared" ones.
Then when transferring an Album, it could just update the Description to say "Album was transferred from User XYZ ... [original_text]".

Sure, there could be some trolling due to this, but one could maybe have a per-user permission setting checkbox "Allow transferring Album Ownership". So it could be enabled when needed for certain users, or in general only work for administrators..
Also I think you should generally have some faith in the other users ^^ Or their access should be reconsidered.
