Transfer Ownership

While not a frequent operation, there are situations when you may need to transfer a repository’s ownership to another person or to an organization.

To transfer ownership of an API repository:

1. Navigate to the Settings tab of your API repository
2. In General, expand Transfer Ownership under Danger Zone
3. Click the Transfer Ownership button
4. Enter the Repository Name to confirm, and the New Owner Name
5. Click Make Transfer

When the Transfer Takes Effect

If the new owner is an organization in which you can create repositories, the transfer happens at once.

In other cases the transfer stays pending until the new owner accepts it. The new owner opens the repository and clicks Accept Transfer or Reject Transfer.

Your Access After the Transfer

You will lose access if the new owner is an individual user. You keep access if the new owner is an organization and you are one of its owners.

Note: Once transferred, the new owner will have full administrative rights to the repository.
