# Set an agent's owner

PUT

/v1/agents/{agentId}/owner

```sh
curl --request PUT \
  --url https://example.com/v1/agents/example/owner \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{ "userId": "example" }'
```

One owner per agent: the person its corrections go to when they need the owner. Setting it again replaces the one before. Needs `admin` on the agent (an admin of its project). With a directory of people, the owner must be one of the workspace’s.
