How do I transfer Workspace ownership?

Q: When to Transfer Ownership

Leaving the organization — Transfer ownership before departing so the workspace remains fully managed.

Overview

Workspace ownership determines who has full administrative control over a Taskade workspace, including billing, member management, and workspace-level settings. You can manage permissions/user roles of workspace members and decide who can change what. You can also transfer workspace ownership to someone else at any time.

How to Transfer Ownership

Click the ˅ arrow next to the name of your workspace and choose 👥 Members.
Go to the Members tab and find the team member you want to promote.
Assign the 🦄 Owner role to that team member using the role dropdown.
(optional) Click ··· next to your name ➡ Remove to leave the workspace after the transfer.

💡 Note: A Workspace can have more than one owner. Adding a new owner does not automatically remove your own ownership.

Tips

The new owner must already be a member of the workspace before you can assign the Owner role. Use Invite Members to add them first if needed.
If you are the only owner, you cannot remove yourself until you assign at least one other owner. Taskade requires every workspace to have at least one active owner.
Transferring ownership does not affect the workspace's billing plan. The subscription remains attached to the workspace, not to the individual owner.
