Transferring 138 Enterprise Email Admin Rights: Secure Handover Process & Troubleshooting
  1. Domain control verification: Confirm administrative access to the domain registered with 138 Enterprise Email (required for all transfers)
  2. Document current configurations: Record all MX records, SPF/DKIM/DMARC settings, and user permissions
  3. Prepare new administrator: Ensure the successor has completed identity verification per 138's requirements
  4. Schedule appropriately: Plan during low-usage periods if possible

Secure Transfer Process

Step 1: Prepare the New Administrator

  • Create or verify the new admin account in "Organization & Users" section

Step 2: Assign Admin Privileges

  1. Log in to 138 admin portal with current credentials
  2. Navigate to "Organization & Users > User Management"
  3. Select target account and enable administrator privileges
  4. Set appropriate permission levels (full or restricted admin)

Step 3: Verify and Transition

  1. Have new administrator test all critical functions:
  • User account management
  • Password resets
  • Security settings access

  2. Check multi-device synchronization (web, mobile, PC clients)
