Step 3 – On the Select Owners page, click Add to browse for an owner. Repeat this Step to add multiple owners. See the Add Owner Window topic for additional information.

Step 4 – When only one owner is assigned, the owner will be the Primary by default. When multiple owners are assigned, the first owner in the list is the Primary owner.

• Confirmed — Indicates whether or not the assigned owner has confirmed ownership of that resource. Tool-tips display when hovering over the icons indicating whether the resource ownership has been confirmed, declined, pending response, or that a confirmation has not been requested.

Step 5 – On the Description page, optionally add a description for the resource in the textbox. Then click Next.

Step 6 – On the Summary page, review the settings and click Finish. The Access Reviews application begins to process the ownership configuration.

Step 7 – The action status displays on the page. When the task has completed (100%), click Close. The Add new resource wizard closes.

This resource is now being managed through the Access Reviews application.
