- Create a new Mergin Maps account with the username of your choice
- Make a list of workspaces/projects you have access to with your original account
- Notify the admins or owners of the relevant workspaces about this change.
They will have to share the workspace or projects with your new account. - Now your original account can be deleted
If you own a workspace:
- Create a new Mergin Maps account with the username of your choice
- Transfer the ownership of your workspace(s) to the new account and, if needed, update the billing information
- Now you can delete the original account
Re-using email
The same email cannot be used for multiple accounts. If you want to reuse the same email that you have used in your original account, you will have to close it and wait until it is deleted. Deleted accounts are kept on Mergin Maps servers for 5 days before they are deleted permanently.
To speed up the process, you can contact support@merginmaps.com and ask them to delete your account so you can use the same email immediately.
