Transferring ownership of a Launchpad project | ||
============================================= | ||
|
||
Transferring the ownership of a project in Launchpad, takes more than simply | ||
changing the maintainer of a project when there is private content | ||
associated with it. | ||
|
||
This is particularly evident for private projects, when after updating the | ||
project's maintainer, the maintainer themselves might not be able to see the | ||
private project they maintain. | ||
|
||
This is because the permissions to see and update a project lie on its sharing | ||
policies, which need updating in such cases. | ||
|
||
How to transfer the ownership of a private project | ||
-------------------------------------------------- | ||
|
||
To transfer the ownership of a project from team A to team B: | ||
|
||
1. Update the project's maintainer to team B. To do so, either: | ||
|
||
* access your project's page and click on the "edit" button near the | ||
"maintainer" field. | ||
|
||
* go directly to https://launchpad.net/<project_name>/+edit-people. | ||
|
||
2. Check the project's "Sharing policies". To do so, either: | ||
|
||
* go to your project page, and click on the "Sharing" button on the right | ||
panel. | ||
|
||
* go directly to https://launchpad.net/<project name>/+sharing. | ||
|
||
3. If any sharing policies are in place, update them so that the policies | ||
associated with team A are now associated with team B instead. | ||
|
||
|
||
You can find more details about "Sharing Policies" in your project's "Sharing | ||
policies" page. |
