Place the cursor on the required user and click the ellipsis icon that appears at the end of the row, next to the status icon. Then, select Set as Owner.

No Privileges

This is the basic role for users with limited permissions. This role does not have access to the Activeboards, Data upload, Administration, Tools, and Flow editor areas of the web application. 

The No Privileges role includes permissions for modifying its own user settings but not for modifying other users' or domain settings.

The No Privileges role also has a Default finder setting. If you have created custom finders for the domain, you can select any of these to be the default finder for this role.
