# Change owner

Assets in a specific user's My Drive will be transferred to another user's My Drive.

{% hint style="warning" %}

* You can only change the owner for an asset in a private Google drive (My Drive), not for an asset in a Google shared drive. Assets in Google shared drives have contributors, not owners.
* You can apply this inventory action [in bulk](/docontrol-user-guide/workflows/bulk-remediation/apply-a-bulk-action.md) for up to 100,000 assets.
  {% endhint %}

1. Navigate to **Inventory > Assets** > **Google Drive** tab. 
2. From all assets, filter for a specific My Drive owner.
3. Select the assets for which you would like to change ownership.
4. Select the **Change owner** remediation action:<br>

5. If you want to run an assessment report first to see how many assets will be remediated, select [Assess and remediate](/docontrol-user-guide/workflows/bulk-remediation/apply-a-bulk-action/assess-and-remediate.md). Otherwise, select **Just remediate.**
6. Enter the email of the new owner. <br>

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.docontrol.io/docontrol-user-guide/workflows/inventory-actions-quick-actions/google-drive-inventory-actions/change-owner.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
