Changing ownership of scheduled reports

When a user creates a scheduled audit report, that user owns the report schedule and only that user can see the schedule. In the event a user leaves the company, another user with Full Control permissions for Active Administrator can take over the ownership of the scheduled reports.

To change ownership of scheduled reports
1
Select Settings | User Options | Audit Reports, and select Show scheduled reports for all users. See Setting options for audit reports.
2
Select Auditing & Alerting | Audit Reports | Scheduling | Scheduled Reports. See Scheduling audit reports.

If you own the schedule, your account does not display next to the schedule. If another user owns the schedule, their account displays in brackets next to the schedule.

If you own the schedule, you can transfer ownership to another account.

If another user owns the schedule, you can take ownership of this schedule or transfer ownership to another account.
