Transferring user permissions

Hi,

Records ownership is determined by the createdByUserNum field in a section, which is the record number of the user account of the person logged in when the record was created.

In order to "give" another user a persons records, all of the records with their user number in the createdByUserNum field would need to be changed to the new user.

There are a few ways to do this. If you don't have a lot of records to change, you can go into them 1 at a time as an administrator and click the "change" link at the top of the record where it shows "Created" and then a user name.

If you have a large number of records, you can accomplish this through a MySQL query. NOTE: Only try this if you are comfortable writing MySQL queries and ALWAYS backup all your data before attempting this kind of change.

Finally, a tool to accomplish this can be created as a custom plugin. If you'd like to look into that as an option, please email consulting@interactivetools.com and we can go over some options.

Hope this helps
