KB User's Guide - Users Tab - Batch Transfer Document Ownership

This document explains how to transfer document ownership from one user to another via the Users tab.

Transferring document ownership via the Users tab is typically done when you are preparing to remove a user from your group space, as all documents they previously owned (whether Active or not) must be reassigned before their account can be removed from your space.

Reassign Documents Using the Transfer Doc Ownership button

  1. Click on the Users tab in KB Admin Tools and locate the user who needs their document(s) transferred to another user.

  2. Click the More button on the user's record. This link is found on the very far right of the screen. Hovering the cursor over the More link reveals a tool tip with the username of the User.

    The image below shows a black arrow pointing to the "More" button.

    The Manage Existing Users screen. The More column on the far right is circled in red.

  3. After clicking on the More link, the Selected User page will appear. Click on the Transfer Doc Ownership button found near the bottom of this page.

  4. The Document Ownership Transfer screen will appear listing all the documents owned by this user.

  5. Check the boxes on the right side to select specific documents to transfer to another user, or, click the Select All button to transfer all documents.

  6. Once you are sure the appropriate documents have been selected, choose a New owner from the drop down list at the bottom of the page.

  7. Finally, click on the Transfer Ownership button to save your changes.
