How to change page author in wordpress if user dont have permission to publish pages?

Question

The thing is that i am using "User Role Editor" and i have one user group that can read and edit published pages. Now, i will be adding all the pages on that site, and we will have several users that will need to have only one page they can edit, so i need for that page to change "Page author" to that user. In case you didnt know, when user have "Edit published pages" enabled they can edit only pages where they are listed as author.

Problem is i can only do that by going in phpmyadmin and changing the page_author field to the id of that user because that user group, like i said, can only read and edit published pages. That is why i can not change page author from "Edit page" page to user from that user group.

So my question is: does anyone know any solution to this problem which does not involve me going to phpmyadmin and changing the id for page_author there?

Answer 1

You could try temporarily giving these users the ability to edit all pages (I think the capability is something like 'edit_others_pages'), creating all your pages and assigning them to the correct user, and then revoking the capability.
