Assign or change a custodian

Record who is responsible for an asset, and keep a history of every change.

Updated Sep 28, 2026 · 2 min read

A custodian is the person accountable for an asset day to day. Changing the custodian through a move keeps a record of who had it and when.

Prerequisites
The “edit” permission, and the person added under Register → Custodians.
  1. Open the asset

    Find it in Register → Assets (search by name, tag or serial) and open it.

  2. Select Move

    In the asset header, select Move. Choose the new custodian (and a new location if it is also moving) and add a reason.

  3. Save

    The asset’s custodian updates and the change appears on the Movements and History tabs.
