Need to change your Account Owner ? Here's what to do:
- If you have access to the current Account Owner's account and the new Account Owner is already a user in the workspace, simply follow the steps above to transfer ownership.
- If the new Account Owner isn't a user yet, add them from Settings → User Management → Users → Add User. Once they accept the invitation, transfer ownership using the steps above. You can then remove the previous Account Owner and transfer any remaining dependencies during the deletion process.
Can't add a new user because you've reached your user limit, or no longer have access to the current Account Owner's login?
