Ownership of a Project, Folder, or File

Available only to administrators.

When a project member creates a folder or adds a file to the project, that

member automatically has ownership of that item. This applies even if an

administrator changes that member's permission level to view access. That is,

the member can still edit that item. Administrators, however can change the

ownership of an item.

1 Use the Project Selection menu to select a project, folder or file.

2 Right-click and choose Properties.

3 Click the General tab.

4 Click the Ownership button. The Owner dialog box displays. The name

of the folder and file display at the top of the box. The current owner is

also displayed.

5 Select the member whom you now want to be the owner.

Replace owner on subfolders and file. Selecting this option means that the

member will have full access rights to all the folders and files below the item

listed at the top of the dialog box. Not selecting this option means that if the

member has view access to the sub-directories and files, that permission level

remains in place — ownership only applies to the item listed at the top of the

dialog box.

You can also assign and preserve a different permission level for a project

member at the folder of file level. All you need to do is lock the permission

set for that particular folder or file. Then, even if permission levels change

elsewhere in the project, the locked item is skipped, and the permission set

remains unchanged.
