Drupal: Handling Errors When Updating the `uid` Field via API

When attempting to update a node’s uid field using Drupal’s JSONAPI, the following error occurred:

The current user is not allowed to PATCH the selected field (uid). The 'administer nodes' permission is required.

This was resolved by changing the permissions.

Specifically, the issue was resolved by enabling the Administer content checkbox under Node.

However, please note the following warning that was displayed:

Warning: Give to trusted roles only; this permission has security implications. Promote, change ownership, edit revisions, and perform other tasks across all content types.

I hope this serves as a helpful reference.
