Managing database ownership

Although a database might belong to multiple database groups, each database is owned by only one database group.

To customize a parameter for a database that occurs in more than one database group, you must select the database object that is displayed under the database group which owns the database.

Information
Example

Database db1 was first added to database group dbg1. The result is that database group dbg1 owns database db1. Creation of more database groups resulted in database db1 being added to database group dbg2 and database group dbg3.

When database group dbg3 was created, ownership of all databases in database group dbg3 was transferred to database group dbg3. Now database db1 is owned by database group dbg3.

To customize any parameters for database db1, you must select the database db1 that is in database group dbg3. To customize parameters for any object that is subordinate to database db1, you must select the subordinate object under the database db1 object that is displayed under database group dbg3.

Database ownership is established automatically only when you create database groups during the Auto Configure process. When you create a database group manually or manage groups by using the Assigned Databases report or the Unassigned Databases report, you must also assign or transfer database ownership manually.
