Add the ability to take or transfer ownership of a dataflow to another user. Currently all I see is a message indicating only the owner can edit the dataflow. This is needed to enhance maintainability and enable enterprise level support of a dataflow if the owner is out of office or leaves the company. At least the same take ownership option that is already available with datasets.

Now you can take over a dataflow ownership using “Take over” in Dataflows settings!

RE: Take or Transfer Ownership of a Dataflow

How to improve the data flow even better version than today. It d be great that I am be able to share the edit/contribution to other admin in my workspace.It is a huge problem for us to limit only owner of its data flow have a right to edit it. If other want to edit need to 'Take Over' the data flow entites. When share ownership - dataflow will be possible?

RE: Take or Transfer Ownership of a Dataflow

I can't yet see the option to "Take Over" a dataflow, is this implemented?

I'd appreciate an update please, it's a massive risk spending time and resources developing code that could become inaccessible if the owner is unavailable.

Id like to assign an AD Group as a dataflow's owner.

Can't find it here either. Unless only one gateway admin can "take over" a dataflow from another admin. Doesn't help most of us that aren't gateway admins.

"Take Over " option is not available in the Dataflows settings. Is there any ETA for this?
