Ownership and Sharing Permissions in Reports Module (folders)

While troubleshooting sharing issue for #IMS Health Brogan I found inconsistencies with permissions on Folders. For example...

Why is it that only the owner of a folder can delete the folder? An Admin should have full rights to ALL folders. Use Case - If a user who has created a number of Reports, Dashboards and Folders left the company and the user is deleted, they are still the owner. If an Admin tries to change ownership, sharing or modify the folder settings, everything is locked. I consider this a bug. An Admin should have permissions to change owner or sharing of the folder. As a workaround, I had to restore the deleted user (folder owner), login as that user to change the owner to an Admin. Then, I was able to make changes to the sharing as that Admin.

I have the same issue. An Admin-level user is no longer with the company, but I cannot delete obsolete reports they created because the permissions were set to the user as the owner and all other users as viewer only. I need to remove them. For all reports, I'm setting up sharing to include Admin-editor and All-Viewer where I am the Owner. The Running User is also this user, so I can't suspend (delete) that user from our system. Please advise.

Hi everyone,

There are no updates on this one just yet. However, if more users up vote this feature, the more likely it is to be on our roadmap. Thanks!

This feature request has not been approved. A good way to escalate would be sharing your use case with your CSM.
