Changing a control owner
Roles and permissions
The following roles can change a control owner:
Administrators with manager permissions for the control
Compliance managers with manager permissions for the control
Users with manager permissions for the control
Each control managed in Hyperproof has an owner who is the main contact and is responsible for ensuring that the control is kept updated. By default, the control owner is the person who created the control, but that owner can be changed.
