The first person who links an HP contract or warranty becomes the initial owner. As owner you decide the
ownership type: single or multiple. This choice affects the visibility of the contract or warranty. In general it
is best practice to select multiple ownership, since this type of support is typically managed by a group,
not an individual.
If you try to link a contract or warranty and see an error message stating that the support agreement is
already linked to someone else, contact that owner to get access rights. This may be the result of the
owner selecting single ownership when creating the link, and not creating a share with a user group that
includes you. The owner may not be revealed, if the owner has not shared his or her contact information,
so you may have to find the contract administrator on your site to identify the owner. Once identified the
owner should change the ownership type for that contract or warranty link from single to multiple, or add
you to a share with the necessary privileges.
