QlikView Shared objects (otherwise called Server objects) can have their ownership changed by using the QVS.exe inbuilt Cleanup Tool.
For more information regarding the QlikView Cleanup Tool and documentation on parameters used, see Cleaning and converting the Shared Files for your QlikView version and see Shared Files - Verification and Cleaning for examples on general use.

Resolution
Setting and changing ownership of shared file content
You can change the owner of server objects with QMC, but for some object types (“DocumentContent”, “InputFieldValues” and “ObjectContent”) ownership cannot be changed this way. In this case you need to use the cleaning tool to change ownership, using the -so (set ownership) or -ro (replace ownership) parameters. These parameters should be used in purge mode.
- -so user to set ownership
- -ro from_user to_user to replace ownership
