### 8.6.12. Editing the Created By Property (Admin Only)

An `admin` user can change the Created By property of an object from one user to another. If the object that is selected is a folder or container, you have the option of applying the changes recursively to all children. When the Created By property is changed, the new user will have `Full Control` permission to the object (and all its children if that option is selected).

To change the ownership of an object:

1. Select the object, then select (Edit) > Created By Property. This opens the Edit Created By Property dialog box:

   Figure 8.32: Editing the Created By Property

2. Select the new user to assign object ownership to from the drop-down list.

3. If the object is a folder or other container, optionally choose to recursively apply the change to all children.

4. Click OK.

5. Select (More) > Display > Details for the object and verify that the user has changed.
