How to Transfer AWS Transfer Family SFTP Resources from One User to Another

Question

A user in our organization is leaving and we want to transfer all the resources he has to another member in the org.
Mainly we are trying to move a AWS Transfer Family SFTP from User A to User B.

Tried to understand how to do this via RAM and via IAM Roles/Policies but we just can't figure it out.

Answer

Hi,

A proposal if you don't find any better solution...

Can you confirm that your resources are fully comprise n this list from https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/AWS_Transfer.html ?
```
Resource types

AWS::Transfer::Agreement
AWS::Transfer::Certificate
AWS::Transfer::Connector
AWS::Transfer::Profile
AWS::Transfer::Server
AWS::Transfer::User
AWS::Transfer::Workflow
```

If yes, I would then use the describe API (in your language of choice: Java, Python, etc.)  for each of those resources types see CLI: see at https://awscli.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/reference/transfer/index.html to dump them as CloudFormation YAML template(s)

It would ease automatic re-creation in another account.

Best,

Didier
