Determine owner of the files in a given session

[Liototo]

Problem

Is there a way to quickly and reliably determine which of the users owns and shares the files?

Additional context

As part of a Bachelor semester project, I'm developing a simple role system for jupyter-collaboration and I wish to implement an "Owner" role for the user who created and shared the working environment. Is that possible?

I don't know what you mean by "owner of a file", that doesn't really make sense in a collaborative session, right? But if your question is "who collaborates on a file", then the collaborators panel does that using the awareness, see here.

Thank you for your response! I mean the user who creates and shares the session in the first place. My project is related to education and I'm trying to give specific capabilities to e.g. a teacher who shares a document for live coding demonstrations.

It seems to me that what you need is managing permissions. Here are some pointers:

• Jupyter Server has support for authorization.
• Jupyverse supports a multi-user scenario.
• JupyterHub has Role Based Access Control.

I'll look into that then, thanks for your help!
