Transfer workspace ownership

Hand your workspace over to another Admin or Member with a type-to-confirm dialog.

Every workspace has exactly one Owner. When ownership needs to move, you transfer the role to another workspace member from Settings > Account > More.

Before you start

  • You are the current Owner. Only the Owner can start a transfer.
  • The person you are transferring to is already a member of this workspace and has a verified email address.
  • The target member is on a paid seat. Free-seat members cannot become the Owner.

Transfer the Owner role

  1. Open Settings > Account.
  2. Scroll to the More card and click Transfer ownership.
PLACEHOLDER: replace with transfer-ownership-open.light.png. Shows Settings > Account with the More card visible: Sign out, Transfer ownership, and Delete account rows.
  1. Pick the new Owner from the member picker. Admins are grouped at the top, Members below.
  2. Type the exact workspace name into the confirmation field. Blake blocks the button until it matches.
  3. Click Transfer ownership. Blake swaps the roles in a single transaction: the target becomes Owner and you become Admin.
PLACEHOLDER: replace with transfer-ownership-dialog.light.png. Shows the Transfer ownership dialog: target member picker, type-to-confirm workspace name input, and disabled Transfer ownership button until the name matches.

What changes after the transfer

  • The new Owner can access billing, workspace deletion, plan changes, and the workspace URL.
  • You keep Admin access. You can still manage members, integrations, and settings, but you cannot delete the workspace or change the plan without a transfer back.
  • Blake sends an in-app notification to the new Owner and an email to both parties confirming the change.

If the transfer is blocked

  • Target is not a member: invite them first from Settings > Members. They must accept the invite before you can transfer.
  • Target has not verified their email: ask them to complete verification. Ownership carries billing responsibility, so Blake requires a verified email.
  • Target is on a free seat: Free-seat members cannot own a paid workspace. Promote them to a paid seat first.
  • You are impersonating another user: transfers are blocked in impersonation sessions.

Ownership transfer cannot be undone from your side. Once the transfer completes, only the new Owner can transfer back. Confirm the target before you type the workspace name.
