Administrators can now transfer all documents owned by one user to another via the Administrator Control Panel. Reassigning ownership can be useful when a user is leaving your organization. This was previously only possible via the Google Documents List API.

Please note that this functionality is only for Google Apps domains that have fully transitioned to the new account infrastructure for Google Apps accounts. This change does not affect any domains that have not yet transitioned to that infrastructure.

Editions included:
Google Apps, Google Apps for Business, Government and Education

Languages included:
US English Only (Next Generation Control Panel)

How to access what's new:
To transfer documents, click the ‘Advanced tools’ tab in the Administrator Control Panel, scroll down to the ‘Document ownership transfer' section and put the user name of the current owner in the ‘From’ field and the user name of the new owner in the ‘To’ field. Click ‘Transfer documents’ to complete the transfer.

Note: Transfers can be very large. You may want to check with the new document owner to make sure they have enough space in their Docs account. You can check storage used by clicking the ‘Upload’ button from the user’s Docs List.
