Alta Site Ownership

[joelusi]

Is there a way to transfer site ownership? I have a site that is in someone else’s name and need to get it onto my account.

Is it possible to receive an invite to the site by the current user/owner, and ask for administration rights. And, then remove the original/current user/owner?

[joelusi]

Im not sure this is possible. I was thinking of trying it as well. I don’t want to try it just in case I lose access until we hear from Alta.

Simply add an admin, make sure they accept, then you may leave the site.

This leaves them as the only admin remaining and makes them the new owner.

@Alta-Matt_v2, so, the following is basically correct then:

@ebuckland81

receive an invite to the site by the current user/owner, and ask for administration rights.

and

@ebuckland81

then remove the original/current user/owner

And there is actually no such thing as a site ownership as far as I understand, other than the administration rights of course.

In short, that is the procedure. They key being that there’s at least one account on the site that has full permissions.

While there is no “site owner” by verbiage, the “site owner” is inherently the account that created the site. However, this method effectively transfers ownership.
