Transferring Site Ownership

By the end of this doc, you'll be able to:

1. Understand what happens when you transfer site ownership
2. Start a transfer from either the site card or Site Settings
3. Send an ownership transfer request to any email address
4. Check whether a transfer is still pending or has been accepted

Before You Begin

Before getting started, make sure you have:

• Owner access to the site you want to transfer.
• The account email of the person you're transferring ownership to.

⚠️  Once the new owner accepts the transfer, your role on the site automatically changes from Owner to Admin. You'll keep access, but they'll have full control.

How to Transfer Site Ownership

There are two ways to start a transfer: from the All Sites page or from within Site Settings. Both lead to the same transfer flow.

Option 1: Transfer from the ‘All Sites’ Page

1. Go to All sites.
2. Click the ⋯ (more options) icon next to the site you want to transfer.
3. Select Transfer ownership from the menu.

Option 2: Transfer from Site Settings

1. Click the ⋯ (more options) icon next to the site you want to transfer.
2. Select Settings from the menu.
3. In the left sidebar, click Ownership & access.
4. Next to your name in the Members list, click the ⋯ icon.
5. Select Transfer ownership.

Completing the Transfer

Once you've started the transfer using either option above, the steps are the same:

1. In the Transfer to external email field, enter the email address of the person you're transferring ownership to.
2. Click Next.
3. Review the confirmation message, which shows who you're transferring the site to and confirms you'll become an Admin once they accept.
4. Click Confirm transfer.

Your Ownership & Access page will now show a "Owner transfer pending" notice, letting you know that an email has been sent and the transfer is awaiting their acceptance.

💡 You can check back on Ownership & access at any time to see whether the transfer is still pending or has been accepted.
