### Migrating existing accounts
162 162
163
-If you have used SBGrid in the past and are moving to a new lab or need to change the configuration of your installation, the sbgrid-cli can migrate between accounts.
163
+The sbgrid-cli feature allows a user to change accounts. This can be useful in a few circumstances:
164
+
165
+ - Moving between SBGrid member labs
166
+ - To change the ownership of an existing installation
167
+ - To change from legacy SBGrid account to a new account which allows installation of BioGrids
168
+
169
+The process is does not require reinstallation, downloading new software or extensive changes to the filesystem (and should be fast).
