Transfer ownership of passwords and folders

Transfer ownership of passwords and folders

The transfer ownership feature in Zoho Vault allows Super Admins to seamlessly reassign passwords and folders from one user to another within the same organization. This is especially useful during employee transitions—such as when someone leaves the company or moves to a different role.

To ensure organized and secure access, Super admins can also move the passwords to a specific folder during the transfer. This helps maintain continuity and control over sensitive credentials as your team structure evolves.

How to transfer ownership

  1. Log in to your Zoho Vault account.
  2. Navigate to Settings and select Users under User Management.
  3. Choose the user whose passwords and folders you want to transfer.
  4. Click More and select Transfer Ownership.
  5. Select the user to whom you want to transfer ownership.
  6. Choose the privileges the current owner should retain.
  7. Select a target folder to move the passwords
  8. Choose if you want to transfer only passwords, only folders, or all passwords and folders.
  9. If transferring a subfolder, select the specific subfolder.
  10. Click Transfer Ownership to complete the process.
