Transfer workspace ownership

In some cases you may need to transfer ownership of a workspace, for example when the current Workspace Owner is leaving the company or is no longer able to administer the workspace. As a Workspace Owner cannot leave a workspace, if they want to leave then they will first need to transfer ownership to another user, or delete the workspace completely.
As a Site Administrator or the current Workspace Owner you can transfer a workspace to another user by following these steps:
- Go to Collaborate > Your spaces and select the workspace you want to transfer.
- Select the user actions menu in the top-right corner (this will appear as your role, e.g. Owner), then select Transfer ownership.
- Type the name of the user you want to be the new Workspace Owner in the Select new owner field.
- Select a user from the list, then click Confirm.
- The new Workspace Owner will be notified of the change.
Workspaces can function without a Workspace Owner, but it is recommended that all workspaces on your site have an owner to ensure that they can handle administrative functions. For example, in a private workspace you need a Workspace Owner to approve requests to join.
