Transfer ownership of objects (data models, dashboards)

Would like an easy way to transfer ownership of objects to someone else.  Or for a super-user admin to be able to "take ownership" of a data model or dashboard.  Will make it easier to deal with when someone leaves the company and they owned things in Sisense.

  • I recently had this issue where a large number of data models were owned by a user who was no longer with the company. I filed a ticket with Sisense Support and they had it fixed by end of day. 

    There's also some good information in this post: Change multiple dashboards owner (sisense.com)

  • Thank you for the suggestions.  An export-import can work, as can custom development against the API.  I was hoping for a simpler option right in the Admin UI.  🙂

  • Able to configure a location where objects are sent when a user is deleted.  Put them all in some recycle bin with information about who the former owner was.  Automatically purge the recycle bin after client configurable length of time (e.g 90 days)

  • Hi folks,

    Thanks kwmacd for sharing the doc to change ownership of multiple dashboard, and DRay for sharing the list of dashboard endpoints.

    Is there a way to change the ownership of the datamodels via. REST API?
