About
Media owners can transfer ownership to someone else, which is useful if the owner is leaving the organization or switching responsibilities. They can also add co-editors, co-publishers, and co-viewers. For more information, see our article Add / Remove collaborators.
The Mediacollaboration module must be enabled by your administrator for this functionality to work.
The instructions below are for Theming users. If you don't have Theming enabled, please refer to our article Change media ownership & add collaborators.
