Changing the mastership of a user

Changing the mastership of a user permits information about that user to be modified on a different replica.

Before you begin

You must have Super User privileges to change the mastership of a user.

Procedure

Start the Designer and click File > User Administration.
In the User Administration window, select a user and click User Action > Edit User.
In the User Properties window, select a replica from the Mastership list and click OK.
Notify the user administrator at the new site that mastership of a user has changed.
