access to the server copy of the iFolder data.
Transferring Ownership of an iFolder
When you change the owner of an iFolder, the existing owner becomes a member of the iFolder and
is assigned the Read/Write right. For orphaned iFolders, the iFolder Admin user becomes the owner.
1 On the iFolder Details page, search for the user you want to assign as the new owner of the
iFolder.
2 Select the check box next to the user's name, then click Owner .
Managing Orphaned iFolders
An iFolder becomes orphaned when its owner is no longer provisioned for iFolder services.
Orphaned iFolders are automatically assigned to the iFolder Admin user, who serves as a temporary
owner until the iFolder can be assigned or deleted. Meanwhile, the members of the iFolder can
continue to use it under the policies and access controls that were in place at the time the iFolder
became orphaned.
1 On the iFolder details page, click Orphan tab to open the list of orphaned iFolders.
2 Browse to locate the orphaned iFolder you want to manage.

When you click Adopt, the iFolder details page lists all the members of that domain. The
default owner for the orphaned iFolder is the Admin, who can assign himself or herself as the
owner of the iFolder.
The name of the orphaned owner also is listed, if he or she is present in the current domain, and
you can be re-assigned the orphaned owner as the owner.
The ownership is removed from you (default owner) after a member is selected as the owner of
the orphaned iFolder. The specified user becomes the iFolder’s owner and has the Full Control
right to the iFolder. The Admin user, then will have only read permissions on that iFolder.
The orphaned property is deleted for that iFolder and it becomes a normal iFolder.
