Transferring API Ownership
You can transfer APIs to other users or organizations in API Hub for Design. This operation cannot be reversed unless the new owner has a good will to return the ownership to the former owner.
When a personal API is transferred to a new owner, the previous owner is added as a designer.
Permissions required to transfer ownership
In API Hub for Design SaaS and API Hub for Design On-Premise v. 1.23 and later, users with the following permissions can transfer APIs:
Transfer direction | Permissions required |
|---|---|
From a personal account | Owner |
From an organization | Organization Owner or Designer on this API |
To an organization | Organization Owner or Designer |
In earlier API Hub for Design On-Premise versions, only Owners could transfer ownership.
