Transferring Ownership of Feature Services

[ChuckKha]

Hello,

I have several feature services that I've created that I would like to give my client ownership of. The problem is that my client is a member of another organization. Is there a way to change the ownership to another AGOL user that is not within my organization?

I don't think this can be done. If you have the source data this can be delivered to the client and after publishing you can update  the definition using the json from your AGOL item.

Hey Xander,

How would I be able to do what you mentioned? Can you provide an example?

The easiest thing would be to have a MXD with the resources you published and do this at the AGOL4O of the client.  If however you created webmaps and changed settings of the layers, then your MXD will not reflect them. In that case you may want to look at the REST API.

This page shows how to access an item and obtain the definition in json:

ArcGIS REST API

At the client you can Add the item or Update an extisting item through REST.

I would think however that you are not the first one to encounter this problem and there may be a much easier solution for this.
