Anyone with access to the organization will have permissions across all of the org\u2019s repositories.<\/p>\n<p>But, because it works like a new user, you\u2019ll need to transfer existing repositories to the organization. This process works the same way if you\u2019re moving the repo to another user account. You\u2019ll simply need to enter the name of the account or organization that will recieve control of the repo. It will im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely be transferred to be under their name and accessible from their account.<\/p>\n<p>While you\u2019ll maintain all the repo information, you may lose out on features if the recieving user\/organization is using a lower tier premium sub<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">script<\/a>ion. For example, transferring a repo from a personal account with Github Pro to a free tier organization may cause a loss of access to certain services, so you\u2019ll want to verify that the accounts are in sync.<\/p>\n<p>Also, keep in mind that <strong>existing automations can break<\/strong> if they depend on the Github URL, as transferring the repo will put it under a new user account. Github, fortunately, will continue to forward some requests to the old repository, but if you make a new one with the same name it will stop completely.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Transferring_a_Github_Repository\"><\/span>Transferring a Github Repository<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Head over to the repository settings:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14572\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cloudsavvyit.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/10\/c9db5acd.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"\" width=\"765\" height=\"224\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Then, under \u201cDanger Zone,\u201d click \u201cTransfer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14573\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cloudsavvyit.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/10\/7172469e.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"\" width=\"970\" height=\"234\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Of course, this is a dangerous process.
