Changing the Owner of a Work Item
Once you create a work item, you become the owner of the work item. This enables you to edit, rename and set the privacy status of the work item. The owner or a Site Administrator can change the owner of a work item if, for example, a colleague leaves the team. The owner of a work item is displayed in the details pane.
The new owner of the work item must be a member of the same work group.
To change the owner of a work item
- Select a Work group from the Work groups section.
- In the Work Items list, select the Work item you want to reassign.
- In the Details pane, click Edit.
- In the Owner field, use the drop-down menu to select the new owner.
- Click Save changes.
The work item's owner updates to the new user.
