Reassigning the Activity Owner

Reassign the activity owner to another team member if someone else will be updating the activity, for example, if the work will be carried out by a different person or team or if you are handing over your activities to a colleague while you are unavailable. You can only assign owners to activities for which they have OBS access unless the project has the Allow resources to assign themselves to activities as owners outside assigned OBS access option selected. A project-level setting controls whether activity owners can be reassigned.

Note:

You cannot reassign the owner of an activity if that activity has pending updates under review.

To reassign an activity a new owner:

1. Select Assign as Owner.
2. In the Assign as Owner dialog:
   1. Select a project.
   2. Optionally use the Search options to reduce the number of activities in the list.

      Note:

      You can search for an activity either in all fields of the activity, or by restricting your search to the Activity ID, Activity Name, WBS, or Activity Status fields.

   3. Select the activities you want to assign.
   4. Enter the name of the new owner in the Activity Owner field for each activity.
   5. Select Assign.
