Transfer of ownership of Device Manager entities
This topic describes how an administrator can transfer entities such as jobs, firmware or configuration templates and baselines,
alert policies, and profiles that are created by one device manager to another device manager. Administrator can initiate a
'transfer of ownership' when a device manager leaves the organization.
NOTE:
● To perform this task on OpenManage Enterprise you must have the administrator user privileges. Role and scope based
access control in OpenManage Enterprise on page 15.
● 'Transfer of ownership' transfers only the entities and not the device groups (scope) owned by a device manager to
another.
● Before a transfer of ownership of entities is initiated, the administrator must first reassign the device groups owned by
the former device manager to the device manager who will be taking over.
● If the ownership of the entities is transferred to an Active Directory user group, then the ownership is transferred to all
the members of that AD group.
To transfer the ownership of entities such as jobs, firmware or configuration templates and baselines, alert policies, and profiles
from one device manager to another do the following:
1. Initiate the Transfer Ownership wizard by clicking OpenManage Enterprise > Application Settings > Users > Transfer
Ownership.
2. From the Source User drop-down list, select the device manager from whom the ownership of entities must be transferred.
NOTE: The Source User will only list the local, active directory, OIDC, or deleted device managers who have entities
such as jobs, FW or configuration templates, alerts policies and profiles associated with them.
3. From the Target User drop-down list, select the device manager to whom the entities will be transferred.
4. Click Finish and then click Yes at the prompt message.
All the owned entities such as jobs, firmware or configuration templates, alert policies, and profiles are transferred from the
'source' device manager to the 'target' device manager.
