How To Transfer Unifi UDM Pro Owner
In this tutorial you will learn in a few simple steps on how to transfer Unifi UDM Pro Owner to a new ui.com owner account. This will come handy when you acquired a new client or accidently used the wrong account to register the UDM Pro into unifi.ui.com
Option 1
Step 1: Make sure you have local access via IP to your UDM Pro before proceeding.
Step 2: Log into unifi.ui.com using the old ui.com owner account and all except the owner, remove all accounts that have access to your UDM Pro.
Step 3: Use the old owner account to log into UDM Pro using IP address
Step 4: Create a backup of all UDM Pro configurations.
Step 5: Create a new Super Admin “Local Access Only” account.
Step 6: Now in the UDM Pro settings disable Remote Access by going to
- Settings
- Advanced
- “Remote Access”.
Step 7: Log in with the new Local Admin
Step 8: Make sure that you are completely logged off ui.com with the previous owner account and log into the new ui.com owner account.
Step 9: Re-enable “Remote Access” and sign in using the new owner credentials.
Step 10: Add all other users back if needed.
Option 2
Make sure your UDM Pro has UniFi OS UDM Pro 1.11.0
Step 1: Log into unifi.ui.com with the current owner
Step 2: We will now provide access to the new Owner Email Account

Setup UDM pro via web console not the IOS app, having impossible time getting it to connect to my global UI account
After the creation of this post Unifi made another option available. Locally log into the UDM PRO though its IP click on the UniFI OS for the UDM PRO. Within Console Settings you can transfer Ownership or your Global UI account.
You can also add additional admins within Admins section and use the ubiquiti account option.
We already have a cloud account, how can we add another UDM in existing account.because we have two UDM at different location.please guide,
Hello, thank you for the visit.
You just need to transfer the other UDM to the existing account. From the UniFi OS, click console settings and scroll down until you see Transfer Ownership.

Hello Michael,
If you are able to log into the unit, use option 2.
HI patrick,
It seems that I cannot grant ownership to a new user allthoug the user is added as admin with full access rights
I have MFA on the new user.
in the drop down I don’t get the ability to choose the new to be owner.
what can be the issue, you think?
kind regards
Erik
Hello Erik,
Thank you for visiting! Let’s see if I can help you out. Log into the UDM Pro using its IP address and use the local admin account. Let me know if you are able to make the change.
Thank you,

Hello Patrick, I have a question. Does transferring ownership of a UDM, causes a UBB to lose its configuration?
Hello Kleber,
No, it does not.
