Understanding Opportunity Ownership
Opportunity Ownership allows users to have complete usage rights on an Opportunity record. This helps a Sales team (or a Partner User), as ownership of opportunity records can easily be assigned to them by a Marketing Team, Channel Manager or Channel Admin. Other Users will be able to see the status and the contacts associated with the Opportunity record as the new owner User progresses through the Opportunity.
