- Transferring ownership is a 3 step process:
- The original owner must first share the data source with the new owner.
- The original owner can thentransfer ownership of the data source to a new owner.
- The new owner "claims" (transfers their credentials to) the data source by reconnecting it.
- As a temporary condition, any reports with unclaimed data sources will continue to work, but will show editors a message at the top of the report. In the near future,these reports may stop working until the data sources are claimed.
- You can see which data sources need to be claimed by editing the report and going to theResource > Manage added data sources page.
