Bit of a handover question as my coworker built a course in Compozer, so he’s the owner of that course. He’s leaving our department soon and I’ll be taking over the project. How do the roles work with ownership of a course work, who can delete what?
Does anyone know if there’s a way for him to transfer ownership of the course to me before he leaves?
Yes, you can definitely get ownership transferred before your coworker heads out and Compozer actually handles this pretty smoothly.
When someone with Owner or Admin access removes your coworker from the team, there’s an option that pops up asking if they want to transfer that person’s content to someone else. That’s when they’d select your name from the dropdown and all those courses become yours.
As for the deletion permissions you asked about - it basically comes down to roles. Owners and Admins can delete anything and everything on the team account (kind of like having the master keys), while Designers and Members can only delete their own stuff. Right now those courses are tied to your coworker since they created them, but once they’re transferred over to you, they’re all yours to manage according to whatever your role allows.
Best thing to do is reach out to your Owner or an Admin sometime before your coworker’s last day. All they need to do is go into Teams/Members, start the removal process, and make sure to select you when that transfer option comes up.
If you want the full breakdown on who can do what with different roles, check out the Roles and Permissions guide.
Hope that helps! Let me know if you’ve got any other questions.
