"Relinquish workset" from obsolete user - Revit

Last modified on: 28 April 2020

Problem:
Worksets are defined by a Owner to control which users can work with which model-parts/Views.

The Owner no longer exists for this Project or is no longer employed with the company.
How can an existing User be made Owner of that workset?

Solution:
The best way to do this is:

To set the obsolete Username In Revit.
Revit Button
- Options
- General-Tab.
- Instead of the current user provide the name of the obsolete user.
Restart Revit
Create a new local file from the central file.
In the new local file, under 'collaborate' use the "Relinquish All Mine" button.
Synchronize with central
Change the Username back to the current user and restart Revit.

Note!
The Username may depend on the Autodesk Useraccount used to activate the software. It may change accordingly.
