# URZ: Changing Resource Responsibility

This source provides instructions on how to modify the designated responsible persons for IT resources at the Universität Greifswald using the account management system (UMS).

## Key Procedures

### Modifying Responsible Persons
To add or change additional responsible persons:
1. Navigate to **Meine Ressourcen -> Ressourcen** in the [[ums]].
2. Select the relevant resource.
3. Click **Ressource verlängern/bearbeiten** (Extend/Edit Resource).
4. Update the field **E-Mail-Adressen weiterer verantwortlicher Personen**.

### Relinquishing Responsibility
Users can remove themselves from a resource by clicking the **Verantwortung abgeben** button in the resource detail view. 
**Warning:** This action results in the immediate loss of access to the resource.

### Transferring Responsibility
There are two methods for transferring responsibility to a successor:
- **Active Transfer:** The current owner submits an extension request to add the successor first. Once the request is processed, the current owner removes themselves.
- **Passive Transfer:** The current owner removes themselves first. The remaining responsible persons must then submit an extension request to add the new successor.

## Support
Issues are handled by the [[universitatsrechenzentrum-urz]] via the [[groupware]] ticket system or the URZ hotline (ext. 1420).
