# Transferring data between a personal account and a Professional workgroup in BaseSpace Sequence Hub

[BaseSpace Sequence Hub](https://www.illumina.com/products/by-type/informatics-products/basespace-sequence-hub.html) is the Illumina cloud-based platform for data management, storage, and analysis. There are three BaseSpace Sequence Hub subscription tiers - Basic, Professional, and Enterprise. The Workgroup feature for the Professional and Enterprise tiers gives BaseSpace Sequence Hub users access to pooled storage and analysis resources. Users who are part of a workgroup may want to move their data from their personal account into the workgroup to take advantage of pooled storage and data analysis options. This article describes how to transfer data from a personal account to a Professional or Enterprise workgroup.

1. From your personal account (shown as Personal in the Dashboard) select the run or project you want to transfer, then select **Transfer Ownership**.

2. Enter the email address associated with the workgroup that will be receiving the data and select **Transfer**. If this is the same address you use for your personal login, use the same email address. Make sure "another user in current domain" is selected.

3. You will receive a notification regarding the transfer request. When accepting the transfer, a **Context to accept invite** dropdown menu is available that defaults to Personal. Select the dropdown menu and choose the workgroup. In the example below “BSSH Support” is the name of the workgroup.

4. Select **Accept** to complete the transfer.

Notes:

1. To move data from a workgroup to your personal account, use the same transfer procedure as above. For the **Context to accept invite**, select Personal.
2. To set the default location for uploaded runs to a workgroup go the Account Overview section of your BaseSpace Sequence Hub account settings, and select the workgroup in the “Default location for uploaded runs” menu.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://knowledge.illumina.com/software/basespace-sequence-hub/software-basespace-sequence-hub-reference_material-list/000001798.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
