Administrators can configure the access roles that can change the owner of objects. For more information, see Rules that Configure Ownership.

Before you begin:

Select one or several objects, and click Change Owner . Depending on the app, this command might be available from the action bar or a context menu. You might also click the owner in the Identity Card.

Important: If the objects are locked, unlock them first.

  1. In the Owner box, start typing the new owner, and select it from the list that appears below.

    Notes:
    • When you click in the Owner box, the users you recently searched are displayed. You must type at least three characters to search for another user.
    • Only the users you are allowed to transfer content to are displayed.

  2. Optional: To add information about the operation, select the Add Message option, and enter your message in the box.
  3. Click Change Owner.
    A progress bar appears.
    Important: If you close the window during the process, the owner will not be modified.

The owner of the selected objects is modified, and the Completion Status column indicates that the operation is successful.
