Hi @Aisha M ,

As per my knowledge, this feature is not availble out of the box. 

You can do this using script runner plugin. Please refer below link for the details.

@Sreenivasaraju P Hi, thank you for the comment.

I need to change the ownership of that invalid user s dashboards & filter to this new user.
So, with scriptrunner is it like a one time job ?

If you are using Jira cloud , somehow scriptrunner plugin doesn't have bulk ownership change for filters there so (considering you have system admin permissions) , Under System > Shared Items > Shared filters / Shared dashboards - It would list down all the filters , by clicking on 3 dots you could change the ownership to anyone you want.

(Cool thing is it allows you to filter the list based on owner) - This works in Cloud and Server both. 

Hope it helps !

@Gopal Rathi Yes you are correct, we can able to change the filters owner in this path System > Shared Items > Shared filters / Shared dashboards.

But how we can able to do for Bulk, if filters are more than 100, it's lengthy process :(
