1: About Transferring Profile Ownership

Here you can transfer the ownership of one or multiple projects to another person identified by their email address. The system will automatically send an invite to the email address where they can accept the invite either by creating a new account or logging in with an existing account. The account must be registered with the invited email address.

Important things to note:

  • The invitation will have an expiry date of your choosing from 24 hours – 7 days
  • You still have access to the project until the new user accepts the invitation
  • Once the new user accepts the invitation you will no longer have access to the project
  • The only way to get access back is by asking that user to go through the same process
  • You can cancel an invitation at any point prior to the new user accepting the invite

*Please note that until the person accepts the transfer you are still in control of the Profile and if you change your mind, you can cancel the invitation – You will be able to see the progress of the transfer in your dashboard.

5: Confirmation Emails - Person Transferring

Both you and the person that you have sent the transfer invitation to will receive emails during the process to confirm the stages, success or failure of the transfer. This is both for your information and as a security protocol to help ensure that the Transfer Process was started by you.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

We are committed to making everything we do as accessible as possible, to as many people as possible. Our team always listens to feedback and if it is something that we can do, we will. Sometimes we are able to make changes immediately, at other times it may be a 'bigger' piece of Tech development, or we may need to do a piece of research first and it may take a little longer, and then there will be times when it is something that we can't do and for that we apologise.

Please Note Regarding Grammar & Accessibility:

Feedback from those with different abilities suggests that the use of punctuation can help them with reading and understanding. Therefore, our content and layout may not always be grammatically correct, we are doing this purposefully - working towards making it accessible for all.

Feedback? IF you have feedback or suggestions as to how we can improve this guid, please email hello@adoddle.org

Our team always listens and appreciates your feedback.

If you have feedback or suggestions as to how we can improve this guide, or the aDoddle Community Maps then please do get in touch. We genuinely do listen and all respectful feedback is appreciated.

We would also love to hear from you if there are things that you like or love about the maps or guides - it is wonderful for our team, who are mostly volunteers, to hear the good things as well and for them to know that their hard work is making a difference.

Thank you in advance for getting in touch.
