+## Transfered content and email updates
+
+When a user is deleted, all of that user's content is transferred to another user. If `transfer_to` is
+set to another user's ID, then the content will be assigned to that user. If `transfer_to` is empty,
+then it will instead be assigned to the user executing the delete operation.
+
+A user's email address may not be changed. As a workaround, you may:
+
+1. create a new `sumologic_user` with the desired email address
+2. set the `transfer_to` of the existing user to the new user's ID
+3. delete the user with the old email address
