We are having the same issue on our internal marketing team. Our only solution has been to keep all libraries in one account and maintain that account under the user's email address even if/after they leave the company. This will be an extra annual cost for an unused seat just to house libraries. Exporting/importing to another account isn't an option since all links would be broken, and all groups and subgroups would disappear. Is there a way to tie the libraries to an organization instead of an individual so that that libraries remain intact when/if an employee leaves?

I am an Art Director on a marketing team and I have other designers help me make Libraries for our team to share. However, when I have them create a library, I would like to be the owner and there is not an easy way to change the owner of a Library on Creative Cloud.

The option is badly needed. The workaround currently is to move the content out of sight and share the moved contant again with the persons needed. This, however, has 3 disadvantages:
-It creates enormous traffic, as each sharer needs again to sychronize
-It may cause problems if inbetween a user changes data
-It is a source of error and data loss.

It would be simply great to have an option like „invite as owner“ or similar, just to transfer the ownership rights.

So far, this is only possible with CC libraries export and then reimport and then reinvite everybody.
