We have a system where users can create a program on our site for people to search for services by. If for some reason a person wants to the program over to someone else how can we change who controls the program information?

Hello and thank you for contacting Toolset support.

Well, this will need a two steps solution:
1. If you are using Toolset Access, you can set the permissions on the form to be used by the author of the post.
2. Create a 2nd form that will let the original author change the post's author, and thus giving permission to the new author to change the post. However, this solution may be a little complex, as it will need a generic field and a view to generating the possible authors to choose from. Then a custom code to update the new author. Check this similar case for the solution https://toolset.com/forums/topic/cred-form-to-select-author/#post-272508

Please note that the view needs to be built using the legacy editor instead of the blocks editor. Another solution is to create your own shortcode to generate the authors' list instead of relying on a view.

I hope this makes sense. Let me know if you have any questions.
