# 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** (![](/files/CTEr1hZdx7dS0o9q05ZM)).
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**.
