How to Export Project Ownership

Prerequisites:

●     User is logged into ERA Live

●     Project has been taken online

●     Required Access:

○     Account: User

○     Project: Owner

○     Dashboard: N/A

Ownership can be exported while either connected or disconnected.  If ERA Live is disconnected, the user must already have been logged in to ERA Live so that ERA recognizes the user as the project owner.

2. OR right-click anywhere on the project desktop, then select the
   “Export with Ownership” context menu item.

7. If ERA Live is connected, the ownership state will also be updated on the server.  Because a new owner is not yet known, the owner will be blank / empty.
1. The ownership change can be verified in the Add from Cloud dialog in ERA or on the ERA Live – Account Administration website.
