To transfer a user account from one ActiveView to another, the Assistant Admin performing the transfer must have either 'Copy User to Another Active View' (7.x) power or 'Transfer a User Account' (6.x)  power assigned in both the source and target ActiveViews. This operation does not remove the account from the source ActiveView, it merely adds it to the target.  Only Built-in Admins with the power to configure ActiveViews can remove an account from management by an ActiveView.

This operation is not intended to be performed by a DRA Administrator or the DRA Service Account.  The Assistant Admin performing the operation will only be able to select ActiveViews that THEY belong to.  This operation is not intended to add Assistant Admins to ANY Built-In or Custom ActiveView available, but rather, just those ActiveViews that the Assistant Admin performing the operation is a member of.

note

The Move button item in the MMC refers to moving a user, group or other Active Directory object from one OU to another.  It does not refer to moving between ActiveViews.
