Similar to feature classes and tables, they are owned by the user that is connected when they are created.

This means that only the owner can modify properties of the domain and perform operations like adding new value and descriptions for coded value domains.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In a hierarchal organization where data is spread across multiple departments, often times, when employees leave, or departments are restructured the dataflow is disturbed. <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">In this situation if the domain owner leaves the department or organization, it is necessary to transfer ownership of the domain to another user in the geodatabase.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">In the past, this workflow involved deleting the domain and recreating as the new user.

To avoid having the geodatabase administrator manage the attribute domains (tasks outside of his area) and maintain a clear role structure within the organization, Tim was selected as the new domain owner.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">To perform this task, we now have the option of using the <a href=\"https:\/\/pro.arcgis.com\/en\/pro-app\/latest\/tool-reference\/data-management\/alter-domain.htm\">Alter Domain<\/a> tool or the <a href=\"https:\/\/pro.arcgis.com\/en\/pro-app\/latest\/help\/data\/geodatabases\/overview\/create-modify-and-delete-domains.htm\">Domains view<\/a> to transfer the ownership of domains to another geodatabase user. You should always check the domain usage for the domain in the geodatabase as the owner to see if they have access to all the datasets the domain is assigned to. To learn more about how to do this using the Domain Usage pane, see <a href=\"https:\/\/pro.arcgis.com\/en\/pro-app\/latest\/help\/data\/geodatabases\/overview\/create-modify-and-delete-domains.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_09CF28B04D4547849DD3A0C15381D558\">Identify domain usage<\/a>.
