I need to know how to use the SFDX CLI tool to change the "Running User" on Reports in mass.

Hi Shawn,

As per my understanding, You would need to manually update 'Running User' in your metadata.xml file using sfdx.

Thanks,

Hi Vinay,
Im not a Developer, but I am an experienced Admin. What are you referring to when you say metadata.xml file?
And how would I use the sfdx to do that? Is there a User guide or something?
I can't even tell if it installed properly on my laptop (it's a work laptop)
Thanks

Metadata mean when you retrieve report or any component using sfdx it will generate metadata in your vs code and you can manually ediit names etc and re-deploy.

Check below references for better understanding.

Check 'Declarative Metadata Sample Definition' in below doc
