Transfer Domain Ownership

You can transfer domains to other users or organizations in SwaggerHub. This operation cannot be reversed unless the new owner has a good will to return the ownership to the former owner.

When a personal domain is transferred to a new owner, the previous owner is added as a collaborator with Edit permissions.

Permissions required to transfer ownership

In SwaggerHub SaaS and SwaggerHub On-Premise v. 1.23 and later, users with the following permissions can transfer domains:
