Co-Owners for Rise Courses
Hi all,
Is it possible to assign a co-owner to a course?
I'm interested in setting up Rise so that multiple team members can currently have permission to edit and export a course.
Thanks,
-Ben

Hey team any updates on this yet?
Hi
This would be extremely important for our team also. Please keep me updated. Thank you.
Also tossing my hat into the ring here, this would be a huge timesaver for my team. Please put me on the subscription list, I'd love to know when this has been implemented! Thanks!
Hi there,
Just in case you missed my message a little further up, this is a feature we're currently working on. I don't have an ETA for you but we'll let you know as soon as it's available!
Thanks for your understanding and patience.
Thanks, Allison!

Adding my vote. This would be really useful for our teams. Any update on this? Also, I think we should clarify exactly what we want. While it would be good to give collaborators publishing rights, I think the better feature is co-ownership. This would allow the owners to add more collaborators and have full rights to the course.

I can only join the ones before me. This would be a very helpful feature!
Add myself as another user desiring this feature. I'm the defacto owner/gatekeeper for all of our Rise courses.
Being my own content management system for a team of 20+ people (dev and design) spread across the globe-- without the ability requested/outlined in this thread for collaborator/co-owner rights being assignable, I'm left having to share my credentials with team members in case I fall ill or go on vacation. I'm not keen to this situation, but it will be this way until the co-owner option comes about.
Allowing collaborators to use folders would be a huge help as well. :)Cass Netzley replied:... I'm left having to share my credentials with team members in case I fall ill or go on vacation. I'm not keen to this situation, but it will be this way until the co-owner option comes about. ...Cass,
It is possible to transfer ownership of modules to a collaborator, from the course Settings > Collaborators menu (to the right of the owner's name). While this is not as elegant of a solution as having co-owners, it's certainly better than sharing credentials.Best regards,

Isn't the issue not being able to publish it unless you're the owner ? If someone is on vacation or traveling and unable to publish, the team can't do anything unless someone logs in under the owners account.
You can log in from your phone and transfer ownership to a collaborator.
*Update*
I've just attempted accessing from my iPhone using Safari and Chrome and both said unsupported browser when I tried to access the settings menu...So you'd have to either do that before leaving on your vacation or log in from an actual computer, (not sure if it would work from a tablet/iPad as I don't have one handy to attempt it from).
Hi Aaron,
Thanks for the input-- we use ownership transfers quite a bit when new courses are developed, but it's mainly to hand it off to my account to be the primary owner from then on for maintenance and publishing purposes. This is all in an effort to have source material centralized. Transfers can happen using an iPad (and Chrome) from my past experience.
We have 89 various courses, and variations of those course contents also exist (ILT, VILT, Self-paced), so it's a lot of content, to say the least. That's quite a chore to transfer all ownership over prior to a vacation, and sickness is never planned. Outside of my boss, the other individual sharing my credentials is trusted so I have no qualms with this system until a viable co-owner option comes about.
