Create an Idea - setting ownerId

Hi there.

Does anyone have any tips for setting the ownerId of a new Idea

when created from a site?

 

I have a vf page that captures data using inputText fields and sets values in

an Idea (newly instantiated) in the code and then inserts this. The reason 

I have to do it this way is because ideas are read only when exposed with sites

Thanks

Do you need to use ownerId? If you just want to track who submitted what, or assign, etc, couldn't you use a custom field and populate that instead?

Looks like OwnerId is not exposed in Idea through Apex or the API.
