Publish by Changing Ownership

One of the ways a user provided advanced permissions to make objects public for specified groups is to change the ownership of the object over to the group and then make the object public. ***Use this option if it is desired to only have the name of the group displayed on the resource. If it is desired to have the group + the name of user contributing the resource displayed, then see Publish by Endorsement below.*** ***Note:*** *Objects include Resources added to the platform, Lessons, Outlines and Projects created using the Curriculum Tools, and Collections created.*

*Log* into the platform and access the object you would like to make Public within your Public Group

1. *Log* into the platform and access the object you would like to make Public within your Public Group 2. *Click* on the Gears Icon in the toolbar on the right side of the object, *select* **Change Ownership**. **Note:** *Changing ownership of an object does not make it automatically display within the group unless the group has a tiles block set up with filters applied to recognize those filters on the applicable objects. See setting up a [Tiles Block Guide](https://scribehow.com/shared/Setting_Up_Tiles_Block__6L1xtRTmTMqOe-cLseogIw)*
