Transferring SSL certificate edits

You can transfer an SSL certificate that you are editing to another user. The Transfer edit feature is available only when the status of your SSL certificate is set to work in progress. You can edit an SSL certificate only until it is pushed to the production environment.

About this task

Important: Only the owner of an SSL certificate can do transfer edit. However, with an appropriate user role, you can also transfer an SSL certificate edit of one user to another user within the same company.

Or, a company administrator (admin) can transfer an SSL certificate that someone else checked out to edit.
