You can also use the Search control to search for a specific resource.

3. On the Assign ownership view, select the check box to the left of the governed resource to which you want to assign ownership. You can select multiple resources in the list if you want to assign the same owner.

   3. If the suggested accounts are not sufficient, click the hyperlink at the bottom of the dialog to choose another employee.

      • On the Assign owner dialog, click the Assign or Change button to display a list of employees.
      • On the Owner (Employee) dialog, locate and select an employee.
      • On the Assign owner dialog, the selected employee appears, click the Assign ownership button.
5. For resources without a perceived owner listed:

   1. Click the Assign owner button (bottom right corner of grid).

      TIP: For governed resources without a perceived owner, you must select the check box to the left of the resource to enable the Assign owner button.

   2. On the Assign owner dialog, click the Assign button to display a list of employees.
   3. On the Owner (Employee) dialog, select an employee from the list.

   4. On the Assign owner dialog, the selected employee appears. Click the Assign ownership button.

      NOTE: Prior to selecting the Assign ownership button, you can click the Change button to assign a different owner.
