# Transfer workspace ownership

Each workspace has exactly one owner. You can become a workspace owner, either by:

* When you create a workspace, you automatically become the owner of that workspace.
* You can transfer ownership of a workspace that you own to another user. When you transfer ownership, you can set a new role for yourself for the workspace. For example, you can transfer ownership to another user, but grant yourself **Editor** access.

Admin users can transfer ownership of any workspace. Transferring ownership does not affect the existing access of other non-owner users.

To transfer ownership of a workspace:

1. If the workspace you want to transfer is already selected, click **Transfer Ownership** button in the top toolbar.
2. If you’re inside the workspace, open the **Actions** menu in the top toolbar and choose **Transfer Ownership** (![](https://content.gitbook.com/content/U61B9DqtWCNO3Z30vnjh/blobs/QqDW3EUOwLKek1xCfsUU/image.png)).
3. In the **Select the user** dropdown, choose the new owner.
4. To keep your own access, switch on **Keep access to workspace** and select a role for yourself from the **Role** dropdown.
5. Click **Confirm**.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.syntho.ai/setup-workspaces/transfer-workspace-ownership.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
