Request Share Drive Ownership Change

Use this service to request a change in ownership for an existing share drive. This request is typically submitted when the current owner has changed roles, left the organization, or when responsibility for the shared drive needs to be reassigned to another employee or department.

The new owner will become responsible for approving future access, maintaining content, and ensuring the shared drive complies with organizational data retention and security policies.

Who is Eligible?

  • Department managers
  • Current share drive owners
  • Authorized delegates submitting on behalf of a department

Approval will be required from the current owner of the share drive. If the existing owner of this share drive is no longer affiliated with the university, we will reach out to the head of the department this share belongs to approve this request.

Prerequisites and Expectations

After a request is submitted, the share drive administrator team will review the details of the request, acquire approval from the current owner or head of the department if needed, and update the share drive ownership. A technician will reach out to confirm the request is complete, or to gather additional information.
