About
Each media entry has one owner at a time. As a media owner, you can transfer ownership to someone else. These actions can be applied to a single item or to multiple items at once.
A media entry can't have multiple owners. However, the owner can add other users as co-editors, co-publishers, co-viewers, and Webcasting moderators. For more information, see our article Manage roles and permissions.
This feature requires the Mediacollaboration module to be enabled, with the changeOwnerEnabled field set to 'Yes'.
Change ownership
- From the user menu, select My Media.
- Check the box(es) next to the desired entries, then at the top of the page, click the More actions menu and select Transfer ownership.
- Type the name of the person, users, or group you want to transfer ownership to. (Optional) Select the checkbox to set yourself as a collaborator on the media.
- Click Transfer ownership. A success message displays.
The 'My Media' page displays.
If you want to search for entries according to ownership, see Filter entries by ownership below.
You can also transfer ownership from the edit media page, along with managing roles, permissions, and collaborators in one place. For more information, see Manage roles and permissions.
