Transfer Asset Ownership

If necessary, you can transfer the ownership of 1 or more of your Alteryx One Platform assets to another user.

Asset ownership can be transferred for the following types of assets:

  • Plans

  • Imported Datasets

  • Connections: When a connection is transferred to a new owner, the new owner may need to enter authentication credentials.

  • Macros:

    • When a macro is transferred to a new owner, the previous owner loses access to it.

    • After a macro is transferred, the original owner no longer has collaborator access to the macro, since macros cannot be shared.

  • Designer Cloud Workflows

  • Designer Assets (for Workspace Execution)

  • Analytic Apps

After the transfer, the original owner retains access to the assets as a collaborator.

Asset Transfer Notes

  • Administrators can transfer all assets owned by one user to another user. This is an important step before disabling or removing the original user from the system. For more information, go to User Details Page.

  • Asset ownership can't be transferred between projects or workspaces.

  • Transferring ownership of an asset does not change any underlying permissions required to access it. For example, if you transfer an imported dataset to another user, that user can't use the asset unless their permissions allow access. For more information, please contact your administrator.

Tip

Non-admin users can transfer only assets that they own. Admin users can transfer ownership of any Alteryx One asset in the project or workspace.

Transfer of Individual Assets

You can transfer the ownership of one or more individual assets. To transfer assets, follow these steps:

  1. In Alteryx One, locate the asset that you wish to transfer.

  2. From the context menu for the asset, select Transfer.

  3. Enter the username of the user to whom you wish to transfer ownership of the asset. Then, select Transfer.

  4. The designated user will receive a notification email when the asset is transferred.

Bulk Transfer

  • Admin users can transfer all assets owned by one user to another user. For more information, go to User Details.

  • Non-admin users can transfer all of their owned assets through the API.
