Child domains inherit ownership from their parent domain, including both the owner and the ownership type. You can customize this inherited ownership by adding local owners or modifying inherited assignments without affecting the parent domain. For example, if a parent domain has a Data Steward owner, all child domains automatically inherit that Data Steward owner with the same ownership type.

Beyond inherited ownership, you can also assign local owners directly to child domains. Local owners allow you to maintain consistent ownership at the parent domain level while adding specialized ownership at the child domain level. This flexibility enables you to tailor ownership assignments to the specific needs of each child domain.

  1. Go to Governance > Domains and locate the child domain in the hierarchical domain list.
  2. Click the child domain name to open the domain details panel.
  3. Click the Edit button to enter edit mode.
  4. In the Owners section, review the owners table. The Inherited From column shows whether each owner is inherited from the parent domain or assigned locally to the child domain.
    Note: You can turn on the Inherited From toggle to remove inherited owners from the child domain. Only locally assigned owners are displayed for the child domain. Turn it off to restore the inherited owners.
  5. To remove an inherited owner, click the remove icon next to the owner you want to remove.
  6. To add a new owner, click the Add Owners button.
  7. Select the appropriate Ownership Type for the new owner from the dropdown menu (for example, Data Steward).
  8. Select the user or group you want to assign.
  9. Click Save to apply the changes.

The ownership changes are now applied to the child domain only. The parent domain's ownership assignments remain unchanged. This approach ensures that you can customize ownership at the child domain level while preserving the parent domain's original ownership structure.
