# Moving project ownership to SSO user

> [!NOTE]
> When moving to Single Sign On, all of the existing (legacy) users in the company account will still exist with their access to the projects. A set of manual steps are needed to move the ownership of the projects from the legacy account to the new SSO account.

## Edit your legacy profile

1. Log in using your username and password.
2. Click **My profile** to edit your user details. Modify your name so that you can distinguish your legacy user from your SSO user. For example adding “legacy” to the name.
