Need to update owner of NAV 2017

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 5

Seaching for ideas how to overcome the challenge we face where the "owner" of NAV 2017 has left the company on poor terms. Despite being a MS Office Global Admin and a Super User in NAV, I am unable to modify this person's account (disable, reset password, etc.). How can I take over the role that this account has to ensure I am the new "owner" of NAV 2017?

Thank you in advance

    Hi, Although this is not a good way, you can clear all users, and then the first time the user access NAV2017 will be the Super user.

    Delete all User:

    Hope this will help.

    Thanks.

    You can have a look at this article. This explains how you can add a user in NAV if you have access to the SQL server.

       

    Hope this is helpful.
