Transferring Team Ownership

Admin & Management

Alongside some other upgrades we shipped for the new CAD interface over the weekend, we finally got around to a feature request that had been sitting on the "we'll get to it" pile for a while.

It's about account management, specifically how you hand off ownership of a team, along with everything that comes with managing its members, to someone else.

Let's use an example...

Say you manage 'Team Melbourne', or you've been handed the job of managing it, and at some point you won't be the right person for that anymore. Maybe you're moving into another role. Rather than leaving the team stuck with a Team Owner who's no longer available or depending in [e-mail], you can log into your account and transfer that responsibility to someone else.

The steps are short. Go to the settings panel, the same place you'd normally update your team name or delete the team. Use the Transfer button, pick the new owner, and hit Continue.

One thing to be clear about, because it matters: this migration moves responsibility for every project inside that team over to the new person as well. It's not a partial handoff. So apply it carefully, and make sure you're transferring to the right person before you confirm.

Once it's done, the new owner picks up where you left off with the full set of features attached. That means subscription access, team activity, credit usage, and the ability to invite other members into the team. Everything that made you the owner is now theirs.
