A user must have Write and Change permissions on an object in order to ungovern it. Also, a room option may limit ungoverning to owners.
When an object becomes ungoverned the Room Members group is removed from its required groups list, and the room’s Owners and Contributors groups are removed from its permissions list. All others on the permissions list remain there.
Any accessors for local groups are removed from an ungoverned object’s ACL.
The governing relationship of an object to a room can be removed in the following ways:
by moving links from inside the objects’ room to anywhere outside it can lead to ungoverning those objects
by using the File>Remove From Room command
by copying a governed object into an ungoverned folder; the copy is not governed and there are no entries in its ACL for local groups or roles of the original object’s room
by moving a link for a governed object out of its room via a workflow, as long as the workflow is authorized to ungovern in that room
