🔄Transfer of Ownership

Advanced: Transfer of Ownership

The Managed Guardian Service (MGS) provides a seamless way to transfer ownership of all Guardian assets from one user to another.

This includes:

• Policies

• Schemas

• Tools

• Tokens

• All associated Guardian artifacts

This capability is available across all user types and is not limited to Standard Registry users.

Purpose and Use Cases

Transfer of ownership is designed to support real-world operational needs across organizations.

Common scenarios include:

• Transitioning from Self-Managed to MGS Managed (ATP)

• Moving from MGS Managed (ATP) back to Self-Managed

• Reassigning ownership between team members

• Replacing or onboarding new personnel

• Consolidating assets under a single account

There are no restrictions on transfer direction. Ownership can move freely between:

• Self-Managed and Self-Managed

• Managed (ATP) and Managed (ATP)

• Self-Managed and Managed (ATP)

What Happens During Transfer

• All Guardian assets are reassigned to the selected user

• Asset states remain unchanged, including:

  • Draft

  • Dry Run

  • Published

• The receiving user immediately becomes the new owner of all transferred assets

No data is altered during this process. Only ownership is updated.

---

Key Considerations

• The receiving user must already exist within the tenant

• It is recommended to verify the receiving user’s setup and access before initiating the transfer

• Transfers are fully reversible by initiating a new transfer

• This process does not impact policy logic, schema definitions, or historical data

---

Why This Matters

With the introduction of MGS Managed (ATP), users can operate without managing wallets, private keys, or direct blockchain interactions.

Transfer of ownership ensures that existing work can move seamlessly between account types and users without disruption.

This provides:

• Operational continuity

• Flexibility in account management

• Reduced friction when adopting ATP

• Stronger organizational control over Guardian assets
