Transferring ownership

Transferring ownership of a document locks the copies of the document in all collaborating vaults except the one to which you are transferring ownership and unlocks the copy of the document at the selected site. It also updates the status information that is shown at all collaborating sites. Transferring ownership requires:

• The selected site must be enlisted for the selected document as described in Enlisting remote vaults for documents. 
• A copy of the document must already exist at the selected site, made by one of the GCF scheduled transfers.
• The selected document must be owned by the current site. You cannot transfer ownership between two remote sites.

1. In Meridian Enterprise PowerUser, select one document for which you want to transfer ownership.
