Owners control resources in the Privy API, allowing them to modify or take actions with resources, such as updating a policy or sending a transaction with a wallet. At a high-level, you can use owners in the following flows.
  • Assigning owners to resources
  • Updating resources
  • Taking actions with wallets
To assign an owner to a resource, simply pass the identifier for the owner (a user ID for a user, a public key for an authorization key, or a key quorum ID for a key quorum) in the owner field of the request to create the resource. The owner now controls the resource, and can update or take actions with it.
