> Transfer report ownership to others to allow renaming and deletion.


Reports created or uploaded by a user are owned by this user. Only the owner of a report can change the name and delete reports. Therefore, it can be useful to change the ownership of reports. If, for example, someone decides to leave the company, the owner of the reports should give ownership to someone else.

1. In **Reporting**, in the upper part of the report card, click ![](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/onestopreporting/reporting/reports/view-and-change-ownership-of-reports/img/en/word-image-3839-1.png)

> [!IMPORTANT]
> If you are not the owner of the report, you can see who owns the report under ![](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/onestopreporting/reporting/reports/view-and-change-ownership-of-reports/img/en/word-image-3839-2.png) *View details*, but you cannot change ownership. Only the owner of the report can change ownership.

2\. In the drop down list, click ![](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/onestopreporting/reporting/reports/view-and-change-ownership-of-reports/img/en/word-image-3839-3.png) **Change ownership**.

3\. In the dialog box that opens, use the **search** box or use the drop-down list to enter å new user.

4\. Click **Change**.

> [!NOTE]
> The new owner must be a user in your system.
