How can a MATLAB Grader course instructor (who is not the owner of the course) make copies of a course?

We've been using Matlab Grader last year and now we want to use it again this year for the new edition of the class. However, the course can only be duplicated/copied by the owner.

Is there a way to transfer ownership such that we will be able to generate another copy of the class for next year even though the person who initially started the class last year won't be accessible anymore? It would be a lot of unnecessary overhead to recreate all assignments manually.

Besides this the current documentation (R2020a) seems to indicate that copying a course should be possible for every course instructor:

-> create a course  -> copy a course:

But this is not the case: Currently only the course owner is allowed to do so.

Currently (R2020a), there is neither a way to transfer the ownership of a course nor to copy the course as instructor (not owner) yourself. Only the owner can copy an entire course, and they are made the owner of the copied course automatically.

If it is necessary to change course ownership, the current owner must contact customer support and provide them with the following information:

1. Course URL
2. Current owner’s email
3. Email of the MathWorks account for the new owner.

We have taken an enhancement request to allow instructors to transfer ownership of the entire course, including content and student progress.
