How to transfer data in BaseSpace from Public Domain to Enterprise Domain
Use the steps below to transfer a run and/or project from the Public BaseSpace domain to an Enterprise domain.
A user accepting the data transfer must have an account on the public (non-Enterprise) domain.
The user accepting the data transfer be invited the collaborative workgroup as a Public, within the Enterprise account.
For further information on how to add a user from the Public domain to a collaborative workgroup on an enterprise domain, see How to invite users to a workgroup on BaseSpace Sequence Hub (Professional or Enterprise tier).
In order for the transfer to work, the Option "Invite via public Illumina account" must be selected.

Once the user's public domain account is added to the collaborative workgroup, initiate the transfer of the runs/projects from the public account/workgroup to the receiving user's public domain account.
After the transfer is initiated, the receiving user accepts the data transfer into the collaborative workgroup from their public domain account.
The recipient of the transfer should switch to their personal workgroup when logging in to BaseSpace where a Transfer Invite will be displayed from the home page.

Selecting "Accept" will bring up a transfer confirmation window. Under "Context to accept invite" select the corresponding workgroup to accept the transfer and select "Accept".
After the user accepts the data transfer, log out of the public domain and into the enterprise domain to transfer the accepted data from the collaborative workgroup to any other workgroup in the enterprise domain.
Depending on the data, the full transfer can take up to 24 hours to complete. For that duration of the transfer, the Run or Project cannot be downloaded or used as inputs into downstream applications.
Note: Once data is accepted into an enterprise account's workgroup, it cannot be transferred out of the Enterprise account to the public domain.
