Changing Cabinet or Folder Owner

Library Administrators can change the ownership of a cabinet or a folder. This utility is useful for long term absences or the termination of an employee that owns Cabinets and Folders in the document management software. 

The Find People search results allows you to check in for a user that may have been deleted, disabled, or whose permissions have been changed (invalid) in the system. When changing cabinet/folder owners, the following statuses will be included in the search results next to the user name, if applicable:

• (Deleted) — The user or group no longer exists in FileHold.

• (Disabled) — The user no longer has a FileHold license or has been disabled in Microsoft Active Directory.

• (Invalid folder or cabinet owner) —The user or group owns at least one cabinet and does not have permission to be a cabinet owner. 

TIP: To display a list of all users in the system in the search results, leave the First or Last Name field blank and click Find Now. This will aid you in finding any deleted, disabled, or invalid users.
