Transfer Ownership

Transferring ownership is not currently supported (HTTP status code 403 / Smartsheet error code 1026)

It should be.
Use case #1

A very active user is leaving the company. Hundreds of sheets, reports, workspaces under her control.
There is no one to take over fully, so the company will divide up the control to multiple individuals.
With the API, this would take hours to accomplish. Without it ... much much longer.
It would be beneficial if this could be done with the current owner still a user, ie during the transition phase (in this case - and of course, this is not always possible)

Just a shot in the dark... Can you transfer ownership to an arbitrary user and divy out admin rights with the API to get what you need done?

Possibly for this specific use case but I have run into sharing / transferring issues so often that I would prefer to be able to accomplish it via the API without much user intervention.
