Customers would like to quickly understand who is the content owner by having the username on the page, preferable at the top (possbily in the page status buble)

    Yes, that would be very helpful so that the users have a better overview of who the page owner is. It would be best if you could highlight the name in plain text on the page (preferably at the top of the page).

    This Functionality would be great, no more searching for the Responsible Person. We have a lot Employee that would like to have something like that.

    This function would be very helpful for our company.
    It makes sense to see directly who is responsible for the page. Currently, the user has to click a few times to see the page owner..

    If a user sees the page owner immediately when he/she is on the page, it is simply more user-friendly and facilitates our internal interaction with each other. :-)

    There are good reasons why we are minimizing the information that is loaded (performance reasons) and displayed (cluttered UI reasons) in the top of the page.

    What I could imagine and could be performant and non-chaotic is showing the owner in the Content Status Indicator when it is opened:

    Would that be sufficient? (The approach that displays it next to the green status icon is a bit more aggressive in the two ways I mentioned.)

    That would also be a good Solution.

    I would be great to Display the Name of the Pageowner.

    UPDATE: We have released the Better Content Archiving app's cloud version just a few weeks ago. It addresses many points criticized in the Data Center version, including also this one.

    (Our plan is that, if there is interest, we will back-port the most valuable changes from the Cloud version to the Data Center one.)

    In the cloud version, the Content Status Indicator displays the following information:

    1. status of the page or blog post
    2. expiration date (if set)
    3. archiving date (if set)
    4. content owner(s) (if set)
    5. last view (who and when)
    6. last update (who and when)

    It looks like this:

    Inheritance: Because owners can be inherited (if an owner owns a page tree, not just a single page or blog post), we will display all unique owners of the given page, including inherited and direct owners sorted alphabetically. For example, if Alice and Bob owns the grand-parent (and the ownership is inherited), Alice and Dylan owns the parent (and the ownership is inherited) and Emily owns the current page, then it will display: Alice, Bob, Dylan, Emily.

    Inherited owners are marked with a little arrow icon (not shown in this screenshot to keep things simple). By clicking that icon you can open the ancestor from which that owner was inherited from.

    This is flexible, precise and intuitive at the same time.

    🔥 Try this in action now!

    Yay for this! Clarity is key. Ownership is the most important step towards content responsibility.

    Amazing change! Would love to see this backported to the data center version, it really makes things transparent and easy to comprehend for organisation.
