Update Documentation for Changing the Account Owner

Christina Hupy requested to merge c_hupy-master-patch-65523 into master

What does this MR do?

This MR changes the Change your personal details section in the docs in order to reduce the number of support tickets requested for changing ownership of the Customers Portal account.

It is fairly common for account ownership to be transferred as a result of turnover. This section is not explicit enough to guide customers through changing account ownership of the license by changing personal details. The Licensing and Renewal support teams regularly receive tickets requesting that the account owner be changed. This MR adds explicit steps on how to change owners.

The Community Programs team is launching self-checkout renewal functionality in Customer.dot. Over 3k licenses will be renewed through self-checkout and this MR will direct program members to change ownership self-service preemptively rather than filing a support ticket.

Author's checklist

If you are a GitLab team member and only adding documentation, do not add any of the following labels:

  • ~"frontend"
  • ~"backend"
  • ~"type::bug"
  • ~"database"

These labels cause the MR to be added to code verification QA issues.

Reviewer's checklist

Documentation-related MRs should be reviewed by a Technical Writer for a non-blocking review, based on Documentation Guidelines and the Style Guide.

  • If the content requires it, ensure the information is reviewed by a subject matter expert.
  • Technical writer review items:
    • Ensure docs metadata is present and up-to-date.
    • Ensure the appropriate labels are added to this MR.
    • Ensure a release milestone is set.
    • If relevant to this MR, ensure content topic type principles are in use, including:
      • The headings should be something you'd do a Google search for. Instead of Default behavior, say something like Default behavior when you close an issue.
      • The headings (other than the page title) should be active. Instead of Configuring GDK, say something like Configure GDK.
      • Any task steps should be written as a numbered list.
      • If the content still needs to be edited for topic types, you can create a follow-up issue with the docs-technical-debt label.
  • Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the reviews above. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.
