Update Portal Dataset Owner (Data Management)

Summary

Updates the portal owner of a dataset to another user.

Certain datasets in an enterprise geodatabase store the active portal user account as the owner of the dataset, in addition to the data owner. The owner is determined based on the active portal user when the dataset is created. This ownership is stored in the metadata of the dataset and is used to control access for administrative tasks on the dataset.

If the existing portal dataset owner leaves the organization, the portal owner must be changed to another user. This user should possess the same user type and privilege as the original owner.

The following are examples of a portal dataset owner:

• Utility Network—Portal utility network owner
• Trace Network—Portal trace network owner

Usage

• The connected ArcGIS Enterprise portal account must be the portal owner of the dataset or a portal administrator.

• The Input Dataset value must be from a branch versioned workspace.

• The Input Dataset value must be from a database connection established as the data owner.

• The Input Dataset value must be a utility network dataset or layer.

• The Target User value must exist in the organization. If the user does not exist, it must be created as a new portal account.

• Updating the portal owner of a dataset requires an exclusive lock. Any active connections locking the dataset (including services) must be closed.
