Transfer Responsibilities

There are a number of scenarios in which you must transfer the responsibility for resources from one person to another, such as when a person is leaving the company or changing departments or taking an extended leave of absence. In such cases, it is inefficient to transfer each type of object for which the person is responsible. Instead, you can transfer all of the objects for which the person is responsible to another person using the Transfer Resource Owner workflow. 

Set workflow parameter for person’s manager

If you want to automatically transfer responsibility for resources to that person’s manager, you can do so by setting the TransferOwnershipToManager parameter on the Transfer Resource Responsibility workflow.

1. On the navbar, expand Object Administration and select Workflows.

2. Select the Workflow tab and search for Transfer Resource Responsibility.

3. Click the Display Name link for the workflow.
