[Using Sakai] Import from Site

[Kara Stiles]

As far as I understand it, the owner is anyone who has the "maintain" role as defined in the site's realm.  I think they also have to have site.upd, but that's usually true for the "maintain" role.

What makes someone a site "owner" in Sakai 2.5? My understanding is that there is a site contact, but that it doesn't carry any special capabilities. I have read that some schools have a special "maintain" role called an owner and I wonder if there is a mixing of meanings. 

I am the user who created the original site and the new site and I am unable to import anything from my original to my new site in this 2.5 instance (Even if I do it after the site has been created). I get the message: 

Re-use Material from Other Sites 


You do not own any other sites to re-use material. 
Why would that be?

Yes, this is a bug but it only happens when you import Assignments at the time of site creation. 
It appears to import fine when you choose to “Import from a site” after the new site has already been created. 
This also affects attachments in Announcements just as an FYI.

I don't know if that is a fix applied to the CLE, but their appears to 
be a bug (SAK-14758 and SAK-15746) that keeps you from importing 
assignments with attachments.
