Related to Sharing and Collaboration, it may be necessary at some point to change the Owner of a resource. Currently, any resource can only have one Owner, and being an Owner confers special privileges, such as the ability to delete the resource.
Changing the Owner can be done in the Collaborators Tab
Click on the Collaborators tab.
Click on the Menu next to Mange Collaborators.
Select Change Owner.
Select the new Owner and click Submit.
You can only select users who you are connected with or Groups you are a part of in OMIQ as the new owner of a resource. To learn more about connecting with other users and groups in OMIQ, please see Sharing, Collaboration and Groups.
Ownership can be Changed in Bulk
This is a common strategy when leaving a research group and needing to transfer ownership of all assets to someone else. In this case our recommendation is to transfer ownership to a Group with one or more responsible colleagues as members. That way access can easily be passed on again as necessary by adding people to the Group. Follow these instructions to bulk transfer:
Make sure your account has formed a connection with the receiver account. Please see Sharing, Collaboration and Groups.
In your account, go to the Datasets list page, select Owned By You, and open the Menu in the top right to reveal the option to Bulk Change Owner.
Do the same thing from the Workflows list page to also transfer the workflows you own. Remember these are separately managed from Datasets.
Workflows and Datasets are independently managed from each other. Please ensure that you transfer both.
Note: consider using Bulk Add Tags for Datasets before transferring ownership in order to tag a piece of useful information such as you being the original owner.
If your account email is registered as the billing contact, remember to email billing@omiq.ai to transfer this responsibility to the new account!
If a user leaves before bulk transferring, OMIQ staff can initiate the transfer with admin powers.
