Changing the Owner of an Object

You can change the owner of an object (that is, a rule, ruleset, template, or formula or script component) in the System View, if the application to which it belongs is deployed. By default, an object's owner is the user that creates it, unless the user changes the ownership. Users can edit only objects they own, with the exception of administrators who can edit any objects.

To change the owner of an object:

  1. In System View, expand the application type and the application.
  2. Do one of these tasks:
    • Oracle Hyperion Financial Management users only: To change the ownership of a ruleset, expand the calculation type and Rulesets.

    • Oracle Hyperion Planning, Oracle Essbase, and Oracle General Ledger users only: To change the ownership of a ruleset, expand Rulesets.

      Note:

      For Financial Management applications, there is a Rulesets node for each calculation type within the application. For Planning, Essbase, and Oracle General Ledger applications, there is only one Rulesets node for each application.

    • To change the ownership of a rule, expand the calculation type, plan type, or database, and then expand Rules.

    • To change the ownership of a formula component, a script component, or a custom template, expand the calculation type, plan type, or database, and then expand Formulas, Scripts, or Templates, depending on the object for which you want to change ownership.

  3. Right-click the object, and select Change Owner.
  4. In Change Owner, select the owner to whom you want to transfer ownership of the object.
  5. Click OK.

    The user to whom you assigned ownership can edit the object.
