Description

To initiate an account transfer for an image, send a POST request to /v2/images/$IMAGE_ID/account_transfer.

Only snapshot images may be transferred by this endpoint to another account.

An image account transfer always has exactly one recipient, specified in the request body. The recipient can be one of the following:

• A DigitalOcean account, denoted by recipient_email in the request body. The recipient will receive an email with instructions to accept the transfer. Once the recipient accepts the transfer, the image will be moved to their account.

• A DigitalOcean team, denoted by recipient_uuid in the request body. If the user has sufficient permissions in the recipient team, the transfer will be automatically accepted and the image will be moved to the recipient team’s account. Otherwise, the transfer will be pending until a user with sufficient permissions in the recipient team accepts the transfer.
