*.Transfer ownership
Only the current owner can transfer their ownership of the workspace to someone else.
In the
Member management section of the workspace settings, the owner can select the member whose role they'd like to upgrade via the drop-down menu to the right of their details → Transfer workspace ownership, as shown below:
The owner is gone, how can we transfer the ownership?
We recommend adding a step to your company’s off-boarding process to make sure a departing employee can transfer ownership before they leave.
If the owner leaves without transferring, contact support@slite.com for assistance. If you still have access to their email, reach out from that address.
