Currently, when a Canvas or Chart is created, the creator is automatically assigned as the “Owner.” We would like to request the implementation of a feature that allows ownership to be transferred to another user.

Background
In our operations department, Canvas and Charts are used for long-term operational monitoring. However, the primary person in charge changes relatively frequently. Therefore, we need a mechanism that allows ownership to be transferred smoothly to the next responsible person.

From a long-term operational perspective, having the original creator remain as the owner even after role changes or internal transfers raises concerns regarding internal security and governance.

For these reasons, we would greatly appreciate it if an official ownership transfer function could be implemented.

Additionally, ​@Shun Takase-san from Nippon Shokubai commented that since Canvas and Charts can be searched by the creator’s name, having the current responsible person listed as the creator significantly helps users find the correct Canvas or Chart efficiently.

We kindly ask you to consider this as a candidate for future feature enhancement.

Thank you very much for your consideration.

Hi ​@Kubota Mami, thank you for raising this and for the detailed context, it's really helpful to understand! 

We agree that ownership transfer is a gap. We've reviewed it against our current roadmap, and unfortunately, we are not able to prioritize it in the near term, as our teams are at capacity delivering real time collaboration in Canvas, closing remaining gaps in the CDM experience across Charts and Canvas, and a number of customer commitments already in flight.

For that reason we are parking this idea for now, but it remains on our radar and we will revisit it as capacity opens up. Please continue to upvote and comment if this becomes more pressing, that signal really does help us when we reevaluate priorities.

Thanks again, and apologies that we cannot move on it sooner.
