Assigning co-ownership of a MARS app to a customer

This scenario includes the context and approach for assigning the co-ownership a MARS app to a customer.

Context

Rick, a support engineer at Future Software has the MARS app approvalportalwhl uploaded on his personal space on MARS. The MARS app contains some approval workflows and a customized HTML page for one of his customers, Wernham Hogg Labels. In combination with a customized HTML page for Wernham Hogg Labels, the workflows can be used as a portal. Originally, the MARS app was created by Maggie, his colleague support engineer at Future Software for one of her own customers, but Rick copied the MARS app to his own system and customized it for Wernham Hogg Labels (see Scenario: copying a public MARS app.

Rick wants to install the MARS app at the CLOUDFLOW system at Wernham Hogg Labels, so they can use it. However, it is possible that some time after installation, Rick will need to edit the MARS app. Therefore, he chooses not to share the MARS app, but instead to assign the co-ownership to the customer. In that case, he will be able to edit the MARS app and upload the new version if needed.

Approach

Rick takes the following steps:
  1. He logs in to CLOUDFLOW with his username and password.
  2. He opens MARS > My Apps > Available. This list gives an overview of all the CLOUDFLOW Applications that are available on Rick's personal space on MARS and that he can share.
  3. Next to the MARS app approvalportalwhl, he selects Details.
  4. He selects Add owner ... and enters Wernham Hogg Labels' customer code: BE-WHL.
  5. He selects Add owner.

The MARS app approvalportalwhl is now visible in the list of Wernham Hogg Labels' MARS apps.
