How do I transfer ownership of a question pool?
By default, only you will be able to access the question pools you create, but you can share your question pools with other instructors from within the system.
However, question pool owners have more options for sharing and managing question pools than users with shared access. In some cases, you may wish to transfer ownership of a question pool to another user so that the new user has all of the available options going forward. For example, if the original owner of a pool is retiring or leaving the institution, he or she may need to transfer all of his or her pools to another faculty member in the department.
Note: Transferring ownership of a question pool also transfers ownership of any subpools within the selected pool.

What is a question pool?
A question pool is a set of questions, identified by a name, that belongs to you (not the worksite). You can share a question pool with others, and others can share theirs with you.
Questions pools are set up in advance of an assessment, for convenience. When you are ready to give your students an assessment (a test or quiz), you can pull questions from your pools and also from pools that have been shared with you.
Question pools serve as the basis for random-draw questions. To give each student a different question on the same subject, set up a question pool with several equivalent questions on that subject, and then add a random-draw question using that pool.
Question pools can be subdivided into subpools, and those subpools can be further subdivided, for organization that reflects your teaching methods.

How do I add, copy, move, or delete a question pool?
Creation of a question pool consists of assigning a name and composing the questions, analogous to composing the questions of an exam. Question pools can serve as test banks for assessment questions, including random draw questions. For an overview, see What is a Question Pool?
Note: Because a question pool cannot be given to students as is, no exam settings are available.
