Set Folder Ownership

Only a content administrator or the folder owner can change the ownership of a folder. By default, the creator of the folder owns the folder. The owner has unlimited permissions on the folder. As the content administrator, you can create a folder and then transfer the folder ownership to the appropriate user ID. For example, content designers could have their own folders, but the folder that is used to export a release version as a content package could be assigned to an administrator.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Library tab.
2. Click Orchestrator and select the appropriate Orchestrator:environment.
3. Select a folder.
4. Click Set Owner.
5. Enter the User ID of the user to set as the owner and click Search.

   Note: The search results include all users with a user ID or user name that contains the string you enter.

6. Select the user from the displayed list.
7. Click Save and Close.

Note: Ownership of a folder grants access to the folder, including the ability to export it individually or as a content package. With a CA EEM policy, you have more control over the actions that a content designer can take on a folder.
