File Owner

Change the owner of a file to another user.

1. In the Content Library, click a file to open the Resource Drawer.
2. In the Resource Drawer, from the Owner drop-down menu, select a user.

Change the owner of multiple files using bulk change.

1. In the Content Library, select the files, folders, or maps you want to modify.
2. Right-click a file and select Bulk Change > Metadata.
3. If your selection includes a folder, decide if you want files in its child folders (folders it contains) to be included in this operation.
4. If your selection includes a map, decide which files associated with it you want to be included in this operation:
   1. If you don't want to include the dependencies of a given map, like its child topics and submaps, clear the Include dependencies check box.
      Important:

      The Include dependencies option only includes the direct dependencies of the map. It does not include binary files (non-text files like images) present in the map or topics it contains.

   2. If you don't want to change the resource-only files in a map, clear the Include resource-only files check box.
      Tip:

      For example, the resource-only files are your variable topics that are added with the processing-role="resource-only" attribute to your map. As a result, they are present in the map but not included in the output.

   3. If you want to include all map dependencies, including its indirect dependencies and binary files (non-text files like images), select the Include all dependencies check box.
5. Select the Owner check box.
6. In the Owner drop-down menu, select an owner.
7. Click Save.
