Once the user has the necessary permissions, they can assign ownership by navigating to the object they wish to assign ownership to and selecting the “Assign Ownership” option. From there, they can select the user or group of users they wish to assign ownership to. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When assigning ownership in BPC, it is important to remember that only users with the appropriate permissions can assign ownership.
