When working in a multiple-site environment, ownership determines which site's users have the ability to check out a drawing.
When taking ownership of an object the user selects the length of time in which no other user can take ownership. This length of time is called a lease. At the end of a lease the current owner maintains ownership until another user requests ownership of that object. If the lease is expired the requesting user will take ownership of that object.
If a source drawing has objects that are shared in the project, anytime ownership for the source drawing is transferred, ownership for the data files for the related objects will be transferred as well.
For more information, see the Autodesk Vault Help.
