Change whom gets access request emails

My boss and I shared a workspace which we are both owners of and this is where we publish our reports.  He started a report, published it, and has made updates, but now I own the report, but he still gets request emails for access.  How can we change it so the request emails come to me vs. him.      On the report, I am listed as an owner of the report.  

 

Is there a rule that it goes to the person whom last published it to the workspace?

Hi @jcastr02 ,

 

The documentation states that "By default the person who creates a new report or dashboard is the contact for it. If you set a value, it overrides the default."   So, publishing it again and again doesn't seem to affect the contact person. 

 

To change the contact there are instructions at this link:

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!
