Gemini Enterprise: Transfer ownership of shared agents

Gemini Enterprise: Transfer ownership of shared agents

Administrators can transfer ownership of shared employee-made agents to another user or to themselves in the Google Cloud console. This is useful when reassigning agents created by departing employees or when temporary workers hand over agents to full-time staff.

Key characteristics and requirements include:

• Administrator only: Only users with the Gemini Enterprise Admin role (roles/discoveryengine.agentspaceAdmin or roles/discoveryengine.admin) can transfer agent ownership. Agent owners cannot transfer ownership unless they are also administrators.
• Shared agents only: Ownership transfer is supported only for agents that are already shared. Private agents cannot be transferred.
• Single owner: Each agent has only one owner at a time. When ownership is transferred, the selected user becomes the sole owner, and the previous owner is retained as a permissioned user with the agentUser role.
• Agents with schedules or triggers: If the transferred agent has a schedule trigger or event trigger, the transfer operation marks them as disabled schedules or events. The new owner must enable it before being able to use the agent.
• Identity formats: Administrators can transfer ownership to users with Google accounts (using email addresses) or to users in a Workforce Identity Federation (WIF) pool (using workforce identity principal identifiers).
