Can't take over my own dataset

Today I changed my primary email address.

Now I can't edit my own dataset as it says the dataset is being managed by my old email address (same user still).

When I click take over nothing happens!

 

I also tried deleting and re-publishing the dataset and it still comes up with the same message. Any ideas? This seems like really poor design by Microsoft..

Hi Collinq,

 

Not sure what happened but when I logged on this morning the dataset owner has changed to my new email.

Not sure if it just takes time for it to migrate over maybe?

 

Thanks for your help

Hi @jakeryan56 ,

 

I know this might sound silly, but have you tried the "Take Over" option in other browsers?  Secondly, does your new email address/userid have the same permissions as before and can take ownership?

 

I would appreciate Kudos if my response was helpful. I would also appreciate it if you would Mark this As a Solution if it solved the problem. Thanks!
