Changing Ownership of Asset
To change the ownership of an asset, you must belong to the CentraSite Administrator role.
In CentraSite, there are two concepts of ownership. An asset belongs to a particular user (known as the asset's owner) and it also belongs to a particular organization. The owner of an asset has special access rights to the asset and serves as the asset's main point of contact. The asset's organization determines whose rules of governance apply to the asset.
After an asset is created, it is sometimes necessary to change its ownership. For example:
You may want to transfer an asset to another user if the original owner leaves the company, transfers to another position, or is otherwise unable to continue serving as the owner of an asset.
You may want to transfer ownership of an asset to another organization when the asset reaches a point in its lifecycle where it is managed by a different group of users. When a service moves into production, for example, you might want to transfer it to your operations organization.
The following general guidelines apply when changing the ownership of an asset:
The asset must not belong to the default user (nor can you move an asset to the default user).
The asset must not be in a pending state (for example, awaiting approval) or have a consumer registration request pending for it.
The asset must not be a component of a composite asset. If an asset is a component of another asset, you can move it only by moving the root asset to which it belongs.
The asset must not be an instance of the asset type: REST Service, XML Service, Virtual REST Service, Virtual XML Service.
The asset cannot be moved to an inactive user.
This section provides procedures for transferring assets to a different user or a different organization.
Note:
If you want to transfer an asset to a different user and a different organization at the same time, use the procedures for changing user ownership. These procedures allow you to optionally change the asset's organization in addition to its owner.
