<p class="p">You can set an article owner for any knowledge base article. By default, the article owner is
the same as the article author, but you can change the owner and set it independently of the
author. </p>
<p class="p">The article owner can be an individual user or a group. The article owner is notified when
articles they own need verification, based on <a class="xref" href="https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/4408828628634" target="_blank">article verification rules</a> you've created.</p>

bulk.</p>
