Transfer ownership of view as a normal user
When I've made a view for someone else, I may want to transfer the ownership of that view to that someone else later on. This way, I don't have the hassle of sharing it with others or getting questions about the view, because my name is linked to it.
Right now, I have to ask the admin of our organisation to transfer the ownership, which takes time, may go wrong and he I don't want to ask him too many small things.
Hence, please make transferring views to other users available for normal users, perhaps as a separate permission. Maybe, the receiving user also has to accept this within x amount of time?

Hi MG,
this wish makes sense.
Obviously, you should only be allowed to transfer a view if you own it (unless you have the Administrators role).
A nice touch would be to keep the view shared with you after the transfer.
I'd think that the other user doesn't need to accept the transfer, thats an unneeded complication.
In the rare occasion she doesn't want it, she can transfer it back to you or pass it on :-)Do you agree with these assessments?
Just to be clear, this is currently not planned.
To get an understanding of priority, How often do you have this problem? Do other users have the same problem?Thanks,

Hi Erwin,
Thanks for the reaction - an acceptance would make it more complicated I agree, so this will probably not be necessary. Keeping the view shared may be a nice addition, but usually I do not want this. It's not mine anymore and I don't want to be responsible for it (besides, sharing a view leads to unexpected results in connecting the view to an object on another view I noticed yesterday).
I would say this happens once a month, where I have about 100 views in my list. Hence, the priority isn't very high, I would even say a 1 on a scale of 1-5. It's not really a problem, it's more of a hassle since our admin has to do all these tasks.

Are there no other users that would like this feature?

Yes please. I created a bunch of views and because I am admin, I could transfer them. But a colleague wanted to do the same, and needed my help.

As an admin and as a user I would like this a lot. The ability to transfer a view I am looking at - either as an admin or as the owner - would save me a lot of time.
