Sometimes circumstances such as employee turnover result in the transition of Collaboratory activities from one person to another. In the event that you need to change an activity's ownership, this can be accomplished via the activity edit form.
NOTE: Administrators, current activity leads, and approved faculty/staff partners are always able to change the ownership of an activity.
Proxies are able to change the ownership of an activity if the activity is not yet published.
To change the ownership of an activity, navigate to the activity and select "Edit" within the Actions drop-down list.
Within Step 2 of the activity form, scroll down to identify the current activity lead and all faculty/staff partners..
Ensure that the individual you wish to transfer ownership of the activity to is listed as an accepted faculty/staff partner. If they are not listed as a partner, click "Add Another Faculty/Staff". Select them from the pop-out modal, or invite them to register if they have not yet joined Collaboratory.
HEADS UP! If the faculty/staff partner is listed as "pending", they must first accept the invitation to partner before being designated as the activity lead.
To change the lead of the activity, check the box marked "Activity Lead" next to any accepted faculty/staff partner.
If you need to remove a faculty/staff partner from the activity (e.g. they have left the institution or no longer work with the project), selecting "Remove" next to their name will delete their connection to the activity. Individuals who are removed from activities will no longer have ownership of or edit access to the activity.
All published activities must have at least one faculty/staff partner identified at all times, so you must be sure to add a new partner and/or lead if removing the sole, previous one.
After updating the faculty/staff partners, navigate to Step 6 and submit the activity. This will save all changes.
