Aria Operations unable to edit credentials

  After upgrade Aria Operation from 8.14 to 8.16 one of my customers reporting me that can't manage anymore all credentials. The two options under 3-dots "Edit" and "Delete" was grayed out. I found the solution under the release notes; credentials now require an owner and after assign ownership, are editable once again. Below useful links and detailed snapshot: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Aria-Operations/8.14/rn/vmware-aria-operations-814-release-notes/index.html https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Aria-Operations/8.14/Configuring-Operations/GUID-0D87C202-6F7D-4A7D-A69D-953AC382E37B.html Thanks for reading!
