  1. Log in to Yandex Webmaster under the username you want to transfer the data to.
  1. [Add the site](https://yandex.com.tr/support/webmaster/en/service/quick-start.md#add) and [verify site ownership](https://yandex.com.tr/support/webmaster/en/service/rights.md#how-to) to manage it.
  

- Assigning a role to another username

  If you have previously given a user site access, and their Yandex ID has changed:
  
  1. Log in to Yandex Webmaster under the username you want to transfer the data to.
  1. [Add the site](https://yandex.com.tr/support/webmaster/en/service/quick-start.md#add).
  1. Change the Yandex ID to the one that can be used to assign roles.

{% endlist %}

The site information will be fully copied from the old Yandex ID to the new one.


## Reset rights {#other-owners}

Management rights to one site can be verified by several people. This is convenient if, for example, both the webmaster and the site owner want to keep track of things.

If you think that the site management rights were verified by a user who shouldn't have them, reset their access rights:

1. Delete the changes made to verify the rights, depending on the method:

    - Remove the `<meta name="yandex-verification" content="verification code of the user whose rights you want to reset"/>` meta tag from the HTML code of the site's home page.

    - Remove the `yandex_<verification code of the user whose rights you want to reset>.html` HTML file from the site's root directory.

    - Remove the `yandex-verification: <verification code of the user whose rights you want to reset>` record from DNS records.

1. In Yandex Webmaster, go to **Settings** → **Access rights**.

1. Click **Revoke role** next to the username.

<!--If you believe that access to the site was obtained by an attacker, use [site protection guidelines](https://yandex.com.tr/support/webmaster/en/service/security-threats.md).-->


## FAQ {#faq}

{% cut "I was assigned rights, but they're not verified" %}

- Check the Yandex ID under which you're logged in to Yandex Webmaster. The username must match the one that the site owner entered when assigning the rights.

- When the site owner assigns rights to a user, the site isn't added to that user account automatically. Add the site to Yandex Webmaster if you haven't done it yet.

- Check what URL the site owner added to Yandex Webmaster and add the same one in your account. Note that the search engine treats `https://www.example.com`, `https://example.com`, `http://www.example.com`, and `http://example.com` as different sites.

If the problem remains, [contact support](#chat-support).

{% endcut %}

{% cut "I'm the site owner, but I can't assign rights to another user" %}

- Check what rights you have.

  To assign roles to other users, you must have the [**Owner**](#owner) role and [verify site ownership](https://yandex.com.tr/support/webmaster/en/service/rights.md#how-to) using one of these methods: add an HTML file to your site's root directory, embed a meta tag on the home page, or add a TXT record to DNS.

- If you were assigned the role by another user (for example, the webmaster who maintains your site), Yandex Webmaster won't recognize you as the site owner. Ask the user who previously assigned you the role to revoke it. This way, you can verify site ownership and get the [**Owner**](#owner) role.

  If you can't do that:

  1. Log in to Yandex Webmaster with your username.
  1. [Remove](https://yandex.com.tr/support/webmaster/en/service/my-sites.md#delete-from-service) the site on the **My sites** page. When a site is removed from Yandex Webmaster, no settings or statistics are lost.
  1. [Add](https://yandex.com.tr/support/webmaster/en/service/quick-start.md#quick-start__add) the site again.
  1. [Verify site ownership](https://yandex.com.tr/support/webmaster/en/service/rights.md#how-to) using your preferred method.
  1. After verifying site ownership, you can assign the role to another user.

- If you've verified site ownership but can't assign the role to another user:

  - Check the status of your rights in **Settings** → **Access rights**.
  - If site ownership is verified, [contact support](#chat-support).

{% endcut %}

{% cut "My rights have been reset" %}

The indexing bot regularly monitors changes on your site and checks the verification code. This is done to promptly restrict access to the site for users who shouldn't have it.

If the verification code can't be detected on your site, the site returns to being unverified. We recommend that you make sure to keep the verification code on the site so that your rights aren't reset.

To restore the revoked rights, [verify them](https://yandex.com.tr/support/webmaster/en/service/rights.md#how-to) again using any of the available methods. This will not affect the site statistics collected.

{% endcut %}

{% cut "I'm the site owner, but I can't reset another user's rights" %}

For Yandex Webmaster, the site owner is the user who [verified](https://yandex.com.tr/support/webmaster/en/service/rights.md#how-to) their site management rights.

A user with rights [assigned](#delegation) by someone else can't change the verification method or revoke someone else's rights on their own.

If you're the site owner but can't manage other users' rights:

1. Go to **Settings** → **Access rights** and check if your site ownership is verified, or if access was granted by another user (for example, the webmaster who maintains your site).

1. If you were assigned the role by another user, they need to revoke it.

   Ask the person who assigned you the role to revoke it. If you can't do that, remove the site from Yandex Webmaster and add it again.

   When a site is removed from Yandex Webmaster, no settings or statistics are lost.

1. After resetting the rights, [verify](https://yandex.com.tr/support/webmaster/en/service/rights.md#how-to) your site management rights using any of the available methods.
