Transferring ownership of data sources in Watson Query

If you have the appropriate authorizations, you can transfer ownership of a data source connection from one collaborator to another.

Before you begin

To complete this task, you must be the user that created the connection, the current admin owner, or a user with the DB2 SECADM privilege.

To learn more about connection access restrictions and data source connection ownership, see Data source connection access restrictions in Watson Query.

On the Data sources page, click the vertical overflow menu () beside the connection that you want to transfer ownership for and select Manage access. On the Manage access page, you can see the collaborators and their currently assigned privileges, including the current owner.
Click Transfer ownship.
Optional: Select Preserve the privileges for the current owner.

When you select this checkbox, the current owner maintains their assigned privileges for this connection after ownership is transferred to the new owner. When you leave this checkbox cleared, the privileges of the current owner are revoked after ownership is transferred.
Select the user that you want to transfer ownership to.
Apply your changes.
