Entry Ownership

The Entry Ownership feature provides a mechanism by which users can manage their own documents and folders, without needing to call in a privileged user. An entry's owner can browse the entry, set security for the entry, and can manage the entry's annotations. This gives entry owners the ability to configure security for and otherwise manage their documents, without granting them larger-scale rights over the repository.

By default, the starting document owner for an entry is its creator (the default document owner is configured in the Laserfiche Administration Console; learn more). You can assign the starting document owner to another user or group, or you can configure your repository so that documents have no owner when they are created. Additionally, a user with the Change Entry Owner entry access right can reassign entry ownership after document creation.

To change ownership for a single entry

1. Open the Laserfiche Windows client or the Laserfiche web client and log in to your repository as a user with the Change Entry Owner entry access right for that entry.
2. Navigate to the entry you want to modify.
3. Right-click the entry and select Properties. Make sure the General tab is selected.
4. In the Owner option, type the name of the document's new owner or clear the option to give the entry no owner.
