Symptoms

A user's EMPLID which is the owner of an HR Notepad Note is unable to transfer or delete the note. Only the creator of the note can take these actions. But if the creator of the note is no longer employed, then the note cannot be transferred or deleted by any user, even if they have ownership of the note.


EXPECTED BEHAVIOR
-----------------------
It is expected that if the creator of a note is no longer employed, then a different owner should inherit transfer and deletion privileges for a note. Even if there is not code added to check once an original creator has left, since the different owners already have edit and save privileges, it is expected that these owners should be able to transfer or delete a note they own.
