Changing the owner of a file listener association

A file listener can be associated with a taskflow or with file ingestion tasks. You can use file listener as a source or schedule (trigger) for file ingestion tasks and as a trigger for a taskflow. A file listener association is the internal link between file listener and its associated file ingestion tasks or taskflows. The owner of a file listener association is the last person who selected the file listener as a source or schedule in a file ingestion task or the last person who published the taskflow with the file listener as a trigger.

You might want to change or transfer the owner of a file listener association when a user who owns the file listener association leaves the organization. For example, if the user Alex creates a file ingestion task, the user Beth creates a file listener, and the user Clara selects the file listener as a source or schedule in a file ingestion task, Clara is the owner of the file listener association. If Clara leaves the organization, you must reassign her assigned file listener associations to another user before you can delete her user account.
