A workspace has one owner. When that person is leaving, or the role should sit with someone else, the owner hands the workspace to a colleague who is already a member.
Who can do this
Only the current owner. Handing over changes who owns the workspace, so you are asked to confirm your identity first.
Transfer ownership
- Open Settings → Who has access.
- Under Transfer workspace ownership, choose the colleague who takes it. Only people who are already members are offered. A practice that reaches the workspace through an engagement is not.
- Give the Reason.
- Press Transfer ownership and confirm your identity.
Transferring ownership does not remove your own membership. If you are leaving, ask the new owner to end it.
Ownership history
Open Settings → Workspace settings and choose Ownership history. Recorded handovers lists every change of owner: who handed it over, who received it, when and why. A change of owner is not overwritten by the next one.
Common questions
"Can I hand the workspace to someone who has not joined yet?" No. Invite them first. Once they are a member, they can be chosen.
"Why does it ask me to confirm who I am?" A stolen session must not be enough to hand a workspace away.
