Changing the Owner of a CC Library

I have an existing library of over 100 assets that are shared with 20 people in our company, and used in hundreds of files.

The original creator of that library is designated as the "Owner".

That person is leaving our company - I want to change the "owner" of the libraries to myself without effecting current team members and linked files.

Is this possible?

I have read all related articles but none have clearly stated whether linked files and current collaborators will be effected with their given solutions.

Please relate the answer to effects on current collaborators and linked files. Thank you

I have thought of one work around, can anyone confirm my logic?:

I can create a NEW library and invite all the current collaborators to it.

Then, we can "MOVE" the assets from the old library (created by the employee that is leaving) - to this new library.

Since collaborators are on both libraries the assets should remain linked to all effected files.

Do you think this will work?

Hi Katscosche,

Yeah, that should work so long as you have Edit level rights to the Library.

Also, so long as you had edit rights you could just make a copy of the Library here: Adobe Creative Cloud and you would be the new owner on the copy.

Hope that helps,

Hi David -

Thank you for the help!

By making a copy of the library I would have to re-collaborate with all team members which is fine... But I am concerned about hundreds linked files using the assets within that library. If I made a copy of the library would my assets still be linked to all the documents that we share? My thought is no, since the copied library contains in a basic sense "new" assets. While they have the same name in the library have a new unique identifier related to the new copied library and so would not link up to all the files/documents that use the assets from the original library. Would you agree?

Thank you again for your help
