- Ownership – All tasks have a specified “owner”; in most cases the user who originally created the task. However, a user’s access permission can expire or be deleted, and if a task previously created by a now-expired/deleted user attempts to run then the task will abort. In this case, the administrator has the option of changing the task’s owner. To change the task owner, go to the Ownership tab, type in the new owner’s user-name, and save the change.
Note: To change a task owner, the administrator must have task_admin, system_admin, system_project_admin or project_admin permission. Users with other permissions will not see the Ownership tab.
Note: If the owner of a sampling task is changed, the ownership of any associated sample upload task will also be changed such that it remains associated.
