Transferring Incident Ownership

Ownership of an incident may need to be transferred for a variety of reasons:

• the current owner is going out of town and will not be available,
• incident complexity is increasing and additional authors are needed to assist with decision-making and documentation,
• incident is transitioning to an incident command team or a different team, or
• the size of the fire requires a higher level of authority to manage it.

Ownership is an incident-level privilege and Authors are automatically assigned ownership of incidents they create. Authors can:

• transfer ownership of an incident to another author, or
• transfer ownership of an incident to a group of WFDSS users that they’ve created in their address book.

Only group members with Author privileges can own incidents. Members of a group that do not have author privileges can assist with document editing, review, and approval.
