Transferring Incident Ownership to Another Author

Before transferring ownership of an incident to another WFDSS user, verify that the new owner:

• Is available and not on leave or already assigned to other duties.
• Has the authority to make fire management decisions for an incident of this size and complexity.
• Is an Author within WFDSS.

The incident owner is responsible for ensuring that decisions related to the incident get documented, reviewed, and approved. (See Assigning a Decision Team to an Incident.)

1. From the Incident List, select the incident you want to transfer ownership.
2. Click View Information. The Edit Incident Information page appears.
3. Click Transfer Ownership. The Transfer Ownership page appears.
4. To quickly find the person you want to transfer ownership to, enter their last name in the User Name field and click Apply Filter.
5. From the User List, select the author you want to assume ownership.
6. Click Transfer Ownership. The Edit Incident Information page reappears and displays the name of the new incident owner.
