Change the ownership of ArcGIS Business Analyst Web App items and groups in ArcGIS Online

Summary

ArcGIS Business Analyst Web App creates folders on the ArcGIS Online Content page when the web application is launched. When projects are created, the items are stored in the folders. Each project in ArcGIS Business Analyst Web App creates a new group under the My Groups tab in ArcGIS Online. In some cases, the project data ownership may need to be transferred to another member, thus it is important to ensure the stored data are not lost or corrupted.

Use the workflow provided in this article to change the ownership of the ArcGIS Business Analyst Web App items and groups to other organization members in ArcGIS Online. Before proceeding, ensure the new owner fulfills the following requirements:

• The member is the owner of the item or an organization administrator.
• The member is assigned the ArcGIS Business Analyst Web App license.
