SUMMURY:


A user invite another user to his author by giving ownership.

Later invited user can completely remove the real owner from that author .


STEP TO REPRODUCE:


  1. Create two user ABC and XYZ.

  1. Create a author profile in user ABC and invite user XYZ to that author using public_id. Give the ownership to user XYZ.Now user XYZ has full access to that author profile.
