Move a Provider to Another Team
Learn how to move a DNS provider from one team to another in ZoneWatcher. This is useful when reorganizing your infrastructure across teams or consolidating providers under a different team.
Overview
If you manage multiple teams in ZoneWatcher, you may need to move a provider from one team to another. When you move a provider, all zones associated with that provider are automatically moved along with it, since zones belong to their provider's team.
Who Can Move Providers?
To move a provider, you must meet the following requirements:
- Team Role: You must be an Owner or Admin of the team that currently owns the provider
- Target Team Membership: You must belong to the target team you want to move the provider to
- Multiple Teams: You must be a member of at least two teams
Application administrators can move providers between any teams, regardless of team membership.
How to Move a Provider
- Navigate to the provider you want to move by going to Providers and selecting the provider
- On the provider view page, click the three-dot menu (⋮) in the top-right corner
- Select Move to Team from the dropdown menu
- In the modal that appears, select the target team from the dropdown
- Review the confirmation message and click Confirm to proceed
What Happens When You Move a Provider
When a provider is moved to another team:
- All zones are moved: Every zone under the provider automatically transfers to the new team since zones inherit their team from the provider
- Monitoring continues: DNS monitoring and checks continue uninterrupted during and after the move
- Historical data is preserved: All check history, records, and notifications remain associated with the provider and its zones
- Team context changes: The provider and its zones will now appear under the new team's dashboard
Troubleshooting
If you don't see the "Move to Team" option in the three-dot menu, check the following:
- Team role: Ensure you are an Owner or Admin of the provider's current team. Members and Viewers cannot move providers.
- Multiple teams: You need to belong to at least two teams to see this option. If you only have one team, there is no destination to move the provider to.
