Reassigning objects to another user

If you want to delete a user from the repository, make the user inactive, or rename a user, you can assign objects owned by that user to another user. For example, to change the user name of a particular user, you have to create a new user and assign the objects that belonged to the old user name to the new user.

To reassign objects to another user:

  1. Navigate to Administration > User Management > Users.

  2. Select the user whose objects are being reassigned and then select Tools > Reassign User.

    The Reassign User page is displayed.

  3. Enter information on the Reassign Userpage:

    1. Name: Displays the name of the current repository.

    2. Reassign: Type the name of the user to which to reassign the current user’s objects or click Select User.

    3. Run the Reassign job: Select when to run the reassign job. Options are At next job execution and Now.

    4. Checked Out Objects: Indicate whether to unlock check-out objects or ignore them.

    5. Report Results: Indicate whether to save changes and report results or just report results.

  4. Click OK.
