Find and replace ownership of folders and spaces

As an admin, it would be highly useful if, when a colleague leaves, all folders and spaces where they are an owner can be searched for and then replaced with a different user.

Practical use of functionality?

A colleague recently left and was an owner of over 500 folders. We were instructed to give a different colleague ownership of all of these folders, which whilst easy to identify via a search, was troublesome to replace owing to the volume and way in which one gives ownership.

What is the impact of not doing this?

Hours and hours of time being spent manually replacing one owner for another.

    Hi @Guest ,

    I have a few questions. 😀

    1. Is this just for Spaces and folders/collections, or would we need to consider ownership of documents?

      1. Would this need to be a choice the admin could make?

    2. Are these users owners of a small number of Spaces and folders/collections or are the volumes large? E.g. in the 1,000s or higher?

    Thanks, Paul.
