Managing Private Resources

How to:

Sometimes it is necessary for a manager to view or modify the private resources owned by another user. For example, when employees leave the company and their status is set to inactive, their private resources may need to be deleted or transferred to another user. It can also be useful for managers to have access to the private resources of the groups they manage in order to share resources or troubleshoot procedures. The Manage Private Resources privilege (opManagePrivateResources) grants a user or group the ability to manage the private content owned by a specified user or group. Typically, this privilege is Permitted for administrators on a group associated with a workspace and for group administrators on the groups they manage.

You can perform most actions on non-output resources owned by other users, such as FOCEXECs, Reporting Objects, and schedules. For output resources, such as PDFs or Libraries, your abilities are limited to deleting the resources or changing their titles.

You can view and manage private resources by workspace or by user or group.
