Assign Stewardship
Stewardship assigns a group as the owner of a data asset. This guide shows you how to assign and transfer ownership.
Before you start
-
You need full access to an asset to assign stewardship.
-
Familiarize yourself with Stewardship.
Assign stewardship to a new asset
When creating an asset, you can assign stewardship immediately.
-
When creating an asset, find Stewardship > Owner.
-
Select a group to be the owner.
-
Finish creating the asset and publish it.
The selected group is now responsible for the asset, and its members receive access based on their governance roles.
Assign stewardship to an existing asset
-
Open the asset.
-
In the Stewardship widget, select Edit.
-
Select a group to be the owner.
-
Select Save.
Transfer stewardship
Stewardship cannot be removed once assigned, only transferred to a different group. This ensures assets always have a clear owner.
To change ownership from one group to another:
-
Open the asset.
-
In the Stewardship widget, select Edit.
-
Select the new owner group.
-
Choose a Level of access for the previous owner (or remove their access).
-
Select Save.
The new owner group is notified of the assignment. The previous owner receives their new access level.
Assign stewardship in bulk
-
Go to a listing screen (for example, Data quality > Rules).
-
Select the assets you want to update.
-
Select Manage stewardship in the ribbon that appears.
-
Select a group to be the owner.
-
Choose a Level of access for any previous owners.
-
Select Done.
