Resource ownership can move from a user to an organization, from an organization to a user, or between organizations.

Transfers check that the current owner can transfer and that the target can accept. Cross-account transfers require target acceptance unless an org admin is moving resources inside the same organization.

Package ecosystems handle coordinates differently. npm scoped packages may need a new scope or alias. OCI paths can redirect if policy allows. Cargo and PyPI packages keep their package names while updating owner metadata.
