Bulk transfer of project ownership
To aid with the handover for all of a users projects to another user, Server Pro includes a script for bulk transfer of project ownership.
The projects will be added to a new tag in the new project owners account. The tag is named after the current users email address and has prefix "transferred-from", example: "[email protected]".
Added in Server Pro version 5.5.3.
