I’ll introduce how to transfer Heroku app owner permissions to another account.

Heroku

Here are the steps to transfer Heroku app owner permissions:

Login to Heroku with the source account

heroku login

Move to the directory of the app to transfer ownership

heroku git:clone -a target_app
cd target_app

Grant app permissions to the destination account

heroku access:add [email protected] --app target_app
heroku apps:transfer [email protected] --app target_app
Initiating transfer of ⬢ target_app to [email protected]... email sent

Finally, Heroku will send an email to the destination account’s email address. Access the Heroku site from there and accept the ownership transfer to complete the process.

Note: Transfer Heroku Pipeline permissions in advance

If you don’t transfer Heroku Pipeline permissions in advance, the Pipeline will disappear, so you need to be careful about that.

That’s all from the Gemba where we want to transfer Heroku app ownership to another account.
