Although Authors and Collaborators are only able to add and edit their own chapters, ownership can be re-assigned. It is always possible for Administrators or Editors in a book (or network managers on the network) to re-assign the \u2018Owner\u2019 for a given chapter or front\/back matter from its Edit page, using the dropdown menu in the Owner box at the bottom of the page (below the Visual \/ Text editor and Chapter Metadata). Any users belonging to the book with a role higher than Subscriber may be assigned as the \u2018Owner\u2019 of a chapter. In this way, an Author or Collaborator user can be assigned edit access to a chapter that they themselves did not create.<\/p>\n

Note: Only one user can be the \u2018Owner\u2019 of an individual page at a given time. Listed \u2018Chapter Author(s)\u2019 update metadata, but not user permissions.Different user roles also have access to different interfaces while within Pressbooks.<\/p>\n
