Is there a way to reassign the ownership of a record from a user who is no longer available to another user (e.g., that person’s manager) so that this experiment can be completed, signed, and witnessed in E-Notebook 13.x/17.x?

Is there a way to reassign the ownership of a record from a user who is no longer available to another user (e.g., that person’s manager) so that this experiment can be completed, signed, and witnessed in E-Notebook 13.x/17.x?

If User1 (owner) is no longer available, and User2 (e.g., User1’s manager) wants to complete User1’s experiment and submit it to a witness, the following configuration is required:

1. As an E-Notebook administrator, right-click on User1's experiment for “Collection Properties” -> Security” -> “Grant".

2. Select the following row:

     User Group = <choose the user group where User2 belongs>

     User = 'User2'

3. Click 'OK'.

4. In the  "Filter" box, select the "Advanced" radio button. In the rows below, choose:


     Action = 'Read and Write'

     State = 'All'

     Type = <your experiment type, e.g. 'Chemistry Experiment'>



     Action = <your transition type, e.g. 'Sign and Close', 'Re-Open', etc.>

     State = 'Open' (other states too, if needed)

     Type = <your experiment type, e.g. 'Chemistry Experiment'>


You can use regular multiple selection with Ctrl or Shift key to choose more than one row at a time.


5. Click “OK”.

6. Refresh E-Notebook (Data -> Refresh All).
