# EnvelopeTransferRules Resource

Envelope transfer rules enable administrators to transfer envelopes and templates from user to another. For example, you might do this when an employee leaves the company. To transfer ownership of envelopes and templates, the **Transfer Custody** feature must be enabled for your account.

For more information about this functionality, see [Transfer Envelopes and Templates](https://support.docusign.com/s/document-item?bundleId=pik1583277475390\&topicId=vyz1583277376194.html).
