How to Use the Move & Access Tab for Domain Management
Every domain is associated with an owner who has the legal authority to manage permissions and grant access rights for the domain within the account. These management roles can be reorganized or delegated through specific options provided in the Move & Access tab. This functionality allows the domain owner to move the domain to another account, add specific users with defined access levels, or enable all users in the destination account to manage it for streamlined collaboration.
How to Access the Move & Access Tab
- Log in to your Bluehost Account Manager.
- In the left-hand menu, click Domains.
- If you have one domain in your account, you will be taken directly to the domain management panel.
- If you have multiple domains in your account, click the domain you wish to manage to access the domain management panel.
- If you have one domain in your account, you will be taken directly to the domain management panel.
- On the domain details page, click the Move & Access tab.
Available Actions
Within this tab, you can:
- Move to another account
Move the domain to another account owned by the same domain owner. Once moved, all users in the destination account will have access to manage the domain.
- Add User to manage Domain
Invite someone to help manage the domain by granting them access to the account where the domain resides. You can select the level of access (e.g., admin, viewer) to ensure secure collaboration.
- Request Auth Code
Start the process of transferring your domain to a new registrar by requesting an authorization code. This code is required for domain transfers outside of Bluehost.
These options make it easy to delegate responsibilities, transfer domains, and maintain secure access control—all from a single, user-friendly interface.
