Reassign inspection ownership

Learn how to adapt to dynamic team changes by reassigning the ownership of your inspections via the web app.

What is template ownership?

When a user creates a template in SafetyCulture, they become its owner. Template ownership determines who has full administrative control over that template, including the ability to edit, share, and manage access. As organizations evolve and responsibilities shift, template ownership can be reassigned so ownership reflects your current team structure.

The Manage access page showing the option to change the template owner.

Template and inspection ownership can only be reassigned by the owner to other users in the same organization.
