Transferring ownership

For a video tutorial of this topic, see our adoption portal.

 

As a Security Administrator, you can transfer the ownership of a protected file from the current owner to a user other than yourself. This feature is useful if the original owner has left or is planning to leave your organization or department or is going on a long vacation. 

Note that the Owner of the document can also transfer its ownership. 

Set the search criteria matching the file(s) in the Files tab (see  Searching for Files), select the desired files, go to the Actions menu, and click Transfer Ownership. 

In the Transfer Ownership window, select the new owner and click Transfer. 

The ownership of all selected documents will be transferred to the new Owner.
