= Changing an artifact owner using the {registry} web console

[role="_abstract"]
As an administrator or as an owner of a schema or API artifact, you can use the {registry} web console to change the artifact owner to 
ifdef::apicurio-registry,rh-service-registry[]
another user account.
endif::[] 
ifdef::rh-openshift-sr[]
another user account or service account.
endif::[] 

This feature is useful if *Artifact owner-only authorization* is set for the {registry} instance on the *Settings* tab so that only owners or administrators can modify artifacts. For example, you might need to change owner if the owner user leaves the organization or the owner account is deleted. 

ifdef::apicurio-registry,rh-service-registry[]
NOTE: The *Artifact owner-only authorization* setting and the artifact *Owner* field are displayed _only if_ authentication was enabled when the {registry} instance was deployed. For more details, see
