Change Default Ownership

Configure the default setting for the length of an ownership for files, folders, items, change orders, and custom objects.

1. Launch the Autodesk Data Management Console.
2. From the pull down menu select Tools Administration.
3. Select the Advance Settings tab.
4. Under Ownership Lease click the Settings button.

Zero is the default setting for ownership lease for all entities (files, folders, items, change orders, and custom objects). This means that as soon as an entity is created and added to a Vault, the creator has ownership with a lease that has already expired. This is also the default value on the Manage Ownership dialog, for all entities and Administrative objects.

Note: By setting the default ownership to a low value, entities are available for any other workgroup to take ownership immediately.
