When Harmoni Creators create a new project, they become Project Owners with the ability to edit, publish, and share projects, including sharing ownership. Sharing project ownership can be beneficial when dealing with large or varied data sources. It also can leverage the knowledge of different people with different subject matter expertise.
To ensure there is no conflict or duplication only one owner can edit the project at any given time.
In this article
1. How to Share Project Ownership
You first need to enable the edit mode in your project and then select publish/share. Selecting the publish/share button opens the publish and sharing pane.
- People and groups with whom you can share and collaborate appear on the left.
- Only users registered for the site appear in the list of available users to publish. The list displayed is limited to the project owner's primary company users. Users appear in groups.
- Those with already assigned permissions appear on the right.
- Users’ names are colored in orange when they are already part of a permission group.
- You can search for a specific user and drag it into the relevant permission group.

To share ownership of a project, drag and drop the user name to the Owner Access group. The person you are sharing with must also be a Creator.
2. Shared Ownership
One owner at a time
To ensure there is no conflict or duplication (e.g., people trying to change the same thing simultaneously), Harmoni applies a "One owner at a time" policy. Only one owner can edit the project at any given time.
There can only be one project owner active at any given time
Constructions
Any constructions created by the Owner are shared when they share the project with someone else. When a Creator is added to the Owner Access group, the published version of a project is updated to include all of the new owner's constructed items.
Sharing ownership of the project does not share ownership of any other Harmoni entities (i.e., Stories, Dashboards, etc.)
