Changing Workbench or Topic Ownership in R52+

[Shamus Cunningham]

In R52+ we have replaced the concept of document owner with folders for each individual users. There are two slightly different methods for changing ownership depending on if the document orignates from a User's folder or the Corporate Drive 

If you want to change the owner of a document that has not been published to the corporate drive you need to move that document from the existing user's folder to your target new users. The gif below gives a quick overview of the process. 

If the document is in the Corporate Drive admins can edit the document and directly transfer ownership to another user. The document owner for Topics is important as the document owner will act as the user permissions to render all of the charts and graphics. The document owner thus must have access to all the datasources in a topic in order for it to render properly.
