While it is possible to import an entity without a primary owner, or to delete an entity's primary owner, many operations require that each entity has a primary owner. Creating a program that references an entity without a primary owner, for example, will cause an error.
Click Finish.
The entity is added to the system. If the entity is part of a dynamic group, an assessment automatically launches the entity depending on the program settings.
