Can the ownership of an entity in D365 be changed from User to Org-owned after creation?

The ownership of an entity in Microsoft Dynamics 365 (D365) cannot be changed from User-owned to Organization-owned after the entity has been created. This is a fundamental aspect of how entity ownership is structured within D365.

User-owned entities allow individual users to manage records, and the ownership can be assigned to different users. In contrast, Organization-owned entities are managed at the organization level, meaning that records are not tied to any specific user, and access permissions are typically broader.

Once an entity is created with a specific ownership type, this setting is fixed to maintain data integrity and ensure consistent access and permission management. Therefore, the ownership type remains static throughout the entity’s lifecycle, confirming that the statement regarding changes post-creation is accurate.
