Transfer Account Ownership to Existing Team Member

Audience: Organizations

The short answer: Every account requires an owner — accounts can have multiple admins but only one owner. Here's how to transfer ownership to an existing team member. Only current owners and admins can perform the action below.

After ownership is transferred, the previous owner automatically becomes an admin. If you need to remove that account entirely, see Deactivate an existing user's account.


Assign a new owner

Log in to your Proof account to complete the steps below.

  1. Select Users from the navigation panel on the left.

  4. Select Edit role & permissions from the menu that appears.
