Transfer Workspace Ownership
How to transfer ownership of your workspace to another member.
Every workspace has exactly one Owner - usually the person who created it. The owner has full control, including deleting the workspace, transferring ownership, and resetting another member's two-factor authentication (2FA). If you're the owner and someone else should take over, you can transfer ownership to them.
Transferring ownership can't be undone. Once you transfer it, you become an Admin and the other person becomes the Owner.
Before you start
You must be the current workspace Owner. Only the owner can transfer ownership.
Choose an existing, active member to become the new owner.
Be sure - this action is permanent and can't be reversed from the app.
Steps
Click the workspace on the top left(, or your avatar in the top right corner) to open the menu, then select Settings.
In the Settings sidebar, under Workspace, select Members.
Find the member you want to make owner and click the ⋮ (more) button at the end of their row.
Select Update role.
In the Update role dialog, open the role dropdown and choose Owner.
Click Confirm.
A confirmation dialog appears: "Are you sure you want to transfer ownership?" It explains that the action can't be undone and that you'll lose your ownership and be downgraded to admin. To go ahead, click Transfer.
What to expect
Once confirmed, the other member becomes the workspace Owner and you become an Admin. As an admin you keep full operational control, but a few owner-only abilities move to the new owner - such as deleting the workspace, transferring ownership again, and resetting another member's 2FA.
Troubleshooting
Owner isn't an option in the role dropdown → Only the current owner can transfer ownership. If you don't see Owner as a choice, you're not the owner of this workspace.
You changed your mind → As long as you haven't clicked Transfer in the final confirmation dialog, nothing has changed - click Cancel or close the dialog. After you confirm, the transfer is permanent; the new owner would have to transfer it back to you.
