Transfer ownership |
The owner of a {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} registration can transfer ownership of the {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} registration to another account. If an organization has designated any app managers for an app owned by the organization, the app managers can also transfer ownership of the {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} registration. For more information about app managers, see AUTOTITLE.
You can transfer apps from a user or organization to another account. You cannot transfer ownership to a team.
