How does Oracle BIP Report determine who is the report Owner?

Question

An odd problem for our BIP Reports, the BIP Report's owner always jump to someone who never touched that report.

For example, there's a report named "OTBI Item Detail Reports_UK", it created by our BSA "Naomi" yesterday however, the report owner displaying as "Phoebe Chen" which is my account even thought I have not login to system yesterday.

It would be greatly appreciated if someone help to explain the logic of how does Oracle BIP report determine who is the owner.

Hi @Phoebe Chen ,

Since your last question is quite different from the original one, I suggest to start a new topic for it. It would be easier for people with the same issue to join the conversation, and for you to get an answer!

Hi @Phoebe Chen ,

To preserve the original owner, you have to select the Create option from the ACL menu when you unarchive the report in the target environment.

To set the ownership of an existing report in the target environment, you have select it, click on Permissions, add a user, tick the Owner radio button and click on OK.
