Need to change the owner of a power pages portal

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 218

We need to change the ownership of a Power Pages portal to a Service account as the original owner has left.

 

What do we need to do, and is there any roles the service account needs?

    Thanks for that.  I experimented with it and when the account that owner/created the portal was deleted the creator and owner changed to 'Portal Owner', and everything kept working without doing anything about the App Reg.


    I can't find any docs on this behaviour, so it's impossible to understand what to expect.

     

    Also, what happens with the ownership when a portal is deployed using pipelines? Is it owned by the service principal that deployed the page instead of Portal Owner?

     

    Ultimately we want to make 100% sure the portal will never go down if a user account is deleted, and I'm not sure what we are seeing with this Portal Owner behaviour.

    Hi @byrnep 

    Did you find the solution to your problem? We are in the same situation. Just starting developing a Portal and want to be sure that we make the right decisions from scratch.

    Sort of.  If you don't use the enhanced database, you have to manual provision the portal anyway so the pipeline doesn't seem to matter.
