Microsoft Forms Ownership Transfer Redirects to DesignPagev2.aspx Instead of Loading Delegate Page

I am attempting to transfer ownership of Microsoft Forms belonging to a former employee, but the transfer process is not working as expected.

 

 

 

The user account still exists in Microsoft Entra ID.

The account is disabled in Entra ID.

Sign-in is disabled in Microsoft 365 Admin Center.

The account is not hard deleted.

I am a Global Administrator.

I have a valid Microsoft 365 E5 license that includes Microsoft Forms.

When accessing the documented Forms transfer URLs using both the user's UPN and Object ID:

forms.office.com/Pages/delegatepage.aspx?originalowner=<UPN>

 

forms.office.com/Pages/delegatepage.aspx?originalowner=<ObjectID>

 

 

 

the request immediately returns an HTTP 301/302 redirect to:

 

forms.cloud.microsoft/Pages/DesignPagev2.aspx

 

instead of displaying the Forms ownership transfer interface.

 

Could you please confirm:

 

What is the currently supported method for transferring Microsoft Forms owned by a disabled user account?

Is the legacydelegatepage.aspxownership transfer mechanism still supported, or has it been retired/replaced?

Is the automatic redirect toDesignPagev2.aspxexpected behavior in our tenant?

Are there any tenant-level settings, licensing requirements, administrator roles, or backend restrictions preventing the transfer interface from loading?

Can Microsoft verify whether the disabled user's forms are still available and eligible for ownership transfer?
