Google Workspace Domain Transfer Divestiture allows you to transfer specific domains from one Google Workspace environment to another. All transfer domains and transfer entities move from the source environment to the destination environment.
Eligible domains, also known as transfer domains, are any in-scope secondary domains (and their associated aliases) that exist within the source environment. After the transfer, transfer (secondary) domains become secondary domains in the destination environment. Alias domains associated with the source secondary domains are transferred as aliases and preserve the alias association. The primary domain (and its associated aliases) is ineligible for transfer.
Supported entities associated with transfer domains, known as transfer entities, are moved as a part of the transfer process. These entities include users, groups, mail, shared drives, calendar resources, etc.
If you’re likely to transfer the source environment’s existing primary domain, it must be converted to a secondary domain. Any Non-Transfer Domain can be promoted as the new Primary domain to the source environment replacing the existing primary domain. Once swapped, the previous primary domain becomes a secondary domain eligible for transfer.
The destination environment needs to establish an organizational unit, known as the transfer root organizational unit, to provide a target for the transfer users. After the transfer, all transfer users reside under the transfer root organizational unit.
Once the transfer is complete, the source environment contains the nontransfer domains and nontransfer entities.
