Is there any way to transfer Configurator data?

I've configured about 20 iPads on my account of a shared iMac.

We're starting to hand out iPads for a certain amount of time and the iMac will be solely used as a check-in/out terminal. Because of that we are deleting all user accounts and adding a master account.

Now, all the iPads were configured using Configurator and my account. Apparently I can't just see those iPads from another account with admin-privileges. Any idea how to transfer these configurations/profiles/list of devices/... to the master account?

Thank you!

Mac OS X (10.7.3), Apple Configurator

Meanwhile I've found a solution:

Go to Library/Application Support/com.apple.configurator on the user account that is in charge of the Configurator tool
Copy everything inside (duplicate it if the account doesn't have rights on the other one and put the files in the public folder)
Log out and log in on the new account
Paste/Move these files to the same folder (Libary/Application Support/com.apple.configurator) of the other user (the new admin)
You're done

Everything seems to be showing in the lists of users and devices.

Lesson learnt: think about your checkin checkout system before you start configuring devices away!
