Change Project Role as Admin

Question

Hi all, 
 
in our Analytics department we sometimes needed to change the Project Role of a Workspace Project in the past. This happened e.g. if one of our colleagues was on holiday and a shared report or scheduled report needed corrections. Most of the time we give each other "edit" roles - but not always. So in the past we were able to change a role to "edit" via "Components - projects" and correct the report. 
 
With the new Adobe Analytics we do not find this feature anymore. Is it not possible anymore to change the role of a project as an admin? This would mean if we need to change a scheduled report during holiday of a colleague who owns it and we do not have the "edit" role, we would have to duplicate it and start a new schedule or worst case if we only have the "view" role we can't change it at all or would have to build it new.

Does anyone know a workaround or solution? 
 
Best regards
Sabine

For sharing projects, you are able to update sharing as an admin for all projects, except those projects shared with you as "can view" and "can duplicate". Even if you are an admin and still can only view or duplicate, so not able to update further sharing. Two workarounds:

having another admin with "can edit" right, or not directly shared with on the project, to update sharing
using the transfer user assets function to take ownership of the project

For updating the schedule of scheduled projects, I am not quite sure if there is any limitation from the "sharing" option as I had never tried this before. However, please keep in mind that updating the project schedule should be done in the "Components" -> "Scheduled projects". If you encountered an access issue stopping you to update the schedule, the previous two workarounds for sharing should work for scheduling as well.

I am not sure about the management screen (I never actually used that feature there).. but as an Admin, you should be able to open/edit every report in your system.. and you can add people to edit role through the Share function...

It sounds like its a few extra steps to what you are used to, unfortunately.. but I would suggest you add an Idea to the board, being detailed about the steps and flows you used to have and ask them to re-instate them... it sounds like it may have been an over sight... a function they forgot existed on this page.
