I'm part of a team that is working on several surveys in a shared
folder. When I go into the folder I can see
My Permissions: create, read
Shared To: <list of users>
It turns out that I do not have the Owner permission and we need to
make a change in who has access to the folder and the surveys inside
it.
I'm not sure who the owner is on the list of users and do not know how
to find out.
Any work arounds besides walking the list of all the users?

Hi Nils
If you display the sharing screen, by clicking the sharing link, you will see the word "owner" in green next to the person that has owner rights. This is the screen where you assign sharing permissions, not the survey list screen.
It is possible for a survey to be ownerless but this is unusual and would be from before the permission rights were added to the system. If you have an ownerless survey, you need to let me know as an administrator would have to fix this behind the scenes.

Thanks Peg.
I went back and looked for the [sharing] link as you suggest to the
right of the folder name in All Folders view. Since I have only
'create' permissions in the folder I don't see the sharing link.
My work around, BTW, was to open the folder and look at all the people
who have permissions in it and start contacting them. It was not an
ownerless folder so we were able to solve the problem among ourselves.
