Problem Definition
I often create filters for users, especially those that are more complex or, because of my BA role, I create the initial filters and board setup for the product owners; however, the product owners (or those that are requesting my help), actually should own or manage the filters.
Today, I create a filter, share it. Then that user is required to create their own and then change the filter for a board or gadget that the filter is often associated with. I have to remember to go back and delete these filters as I have no need to have them in my list.
- As an administrator, we have hundreds if not thousands of filters that no one uses, but I have no way of knowing which ones they are to get them cleaned up.
- As an administrator, I often get requests to go change ownership.
- And, as an administrator and analyst, I often have to go in and change ownership to me, change their filter, and then change ownership back.
Suggested Solution
As an analyst,
- I want to be able to change ownership or share ownership of a filter I created with/to another user so that they are able to manage the filter contents.
- I want the ability to change the ownership of my own filters to someone else, or even better, actually share the ownership or management of a filter.

[JRASERVER-39148] Change owner and share ownership of filters
Yes, it's included.
ayakovlev@atlassian.com Can we close that issue, please?
as feature from 7.12 works well
Actually, is this a dup of JRASERVER-17783 which was fixed in 7.12? Maybe the latest version already has this?
+1 for this, we have a group of senior people who need to be able to edit the team's filters; plus the current single-owner restriction causes big problems when the owner is off sick or on vacation.
Our workaround is to have a special user account that owns all our shared filters (&dashboards) whose password is shared across our senior team members, but that's obviously far from ideal, and means everyone has to log out and log back in as this special user to make any changes.
Going from JIRA 7.8.1 to 8.6.1 soon I think we will get rid of that problem.
Yes. Thanks @Ben Spiller - since JIRA 7.12 there is group ownership of a filter.
This seems like an intuitive feature since it follows the way schemes are throughout the app. Really the whole board system lacks global configuration options, when comparing to the other features in the app, like screens, fields, workflows, permissions, notifications. Why are boards and the tools they use some of the hardest things to have a universal configuration on.
Not to distract from the issue, but this has been a feature request for 5 years, on one of the main tools this app is good for, and seems to be more than intuitive to add. I'd hope we'd see more movement on things like this, over "Jira Mobile" (Released this month) which still has tons of problems and bugs.
It's like a person who's doing an add-on on their house when they have a termite infestation. Fix the main house first, before you go building that add on.
Here's to another 5 years without the feature! 
Hi!
I hope that feature already delivered in 7.12.x release.

Because to me, it's enough to share edit rights and admins already have functionality to transfer ownership public filters and dashboards

added a comment - ++ on this.
Lacking this feature:
Group ownership of filters to allow more than one user to be able to modify a filter.
forces us to create dummy user accounts and share credentials.
Security and audit suffers because of the lack of this feature.
How many votes does it take to get some action?

How many votes does it take to get some action? Is it possible to own a filter by a user group? Ideally, it should be the same as a filesystem: read, write access handling one group and individual level.
This feature request is essential 
Wow, four and a half years without any progress... 
Hey 4101b48837ca
Thanks for sharing your workaround.
To be specific, this is not an exact duplicate of
JRASERVER-17783(change of ownership vs shared ownership), but I agree with you it addressed the same need and solves the problem.gonchik
Thanks for the notification, I will mark the current ticket is superseded by
JRASERVER-17783.
