Changing the Owner of a Resource or Site

The owner of a resource is the user who creates, loads, or connects to the resource. The owner controls access to the resource by controlling permissions. A different user might work with the resource in Infrastructure Studio. For this reason, the owner or an administrator can assign a different owner to the resource.

Note:

A user who copies a resource becomes the owner of the copied resource.
