Taking Ownership of Objects

Use the following procedure to take ownership of an object or folder that is saved to a Shared folder. You must have the proper privilege for the take ownership options to display in the "Properties dialog."

Note that the owner of an object or folder cannot automatically access the object or folder. To access an object, the user must have the proper permissions assigned in the object or folder's "Permissions dialog." For more information, see "Who Owns an Object?" and "Assigning Ownership of Objects."

To take ownership of an object:

  1. In the global header, click Catalog. The "Catalog page" is displayed.

  2. Search for the object to which you want to assign ownership. For more information about searching, see "Searching for Objects in the Catalog."

  3. Go to the "Catalog area" and locate an object or folder.

  4. Select More and then Properties, or go to the "Tasks pane" and click Properties. The "Properties dialog" is displayed.

  5. In the Ownership area, do one the following:

    • If you are working with an object, click the Set Ownership of this item link.

    • If you are working with a folder or an object that contains sub-objects (for example, a dashboard or scorecard), click the Set Ownership of this item link to take ownership of the object only, or click the Set Ownership of this item and all subitems to take ownership of the object and sub-objects.

  6. Click OK.
