  1. Enter the new owner’s last name or ePanther ID in the “Type user or group name” field.
  2. The new owner’s user information (email address and name) should appear below the field. Once the new owner’s name and ePanther ID autofills, click the entry. This will feed the information into the “Type user or group name” field and populate the field.
  3. Once the new owner's information is populated in the field, click the [Save] button.

NOTE: If the new owner’s user information does not appear, it is likely the the user has never accessed My Media, and does not yet have an account in My Media. If this is the case, the new owner must log into Canvas, go to the Account tab, click on My Media, and accept the terms. Follow Step #1 through Step #3 of this tutorial. This will create a My Media account for the new owner. Repeat the steps to change ownership.
