Can I assign / update the Owner for a user?

[paulbeelen]

I'm wondering if I can assign or change the Owner associated with a user. I assume it's an attribute but not sure what it's called, unable to find it... Thanks for any help!

I've been trying to find a way to do this, and it looks like the answer is NO. API v1.4 (which is required for this SDK) does not support updating the owner. Trying to hack around it, for example by adding the owner_id (or owner) field into custom attributes, does nothing other than create a new custom attribute (leaving the actual owner unaffected).

You can dip back into the REST API if you need to, for example:

contact = intercom.users.find(user_id='2605')
resp = requests.put('https://api.intercom.io/contacts/'+contact.id,
        json={'owner_id': new_owner_id},
        headers={
            'Authorization': 'Bearer <<your token here>>,
            }
        )
