Transfer Ownership

Ownership transfer allows the current Owner of a project to pass full control to another team member. This is useful when the person responsible for the project changes or when you need to reorganize how your projects are managed.

Requirements

Before transferring ownership, make sure that:

  • You are the current Owner of the project. Only the Owner can initiate a transfer.
  • The member who will receive ownership is already part of the project. You cannot transfer to someone who is not a member.
  • The target member has an active subscription compatible with the project.

What happens during transfer

When ownership is transferred:

  • The chosen member becomes the new Owner of the project with full control.
  • The previous Owner is automatically downgraded to the Admin role, keeping broad access to the project.
  • All project settings are preserved (services, deploys, domains, environment variables, etc.).
  • Billing is attributed to the new Owner’s subscription.

How to transfer

  1. Go to project settings — open the project in the dashboard and click Settings in the sidebar menu.

  2. Find the transfer section — scroll to the Transfer Ownership section, located in the advanced settings area.

  3. Select the new Owner — choose the team member who will receive ownership from the selection menu. Only current project members appear in the list.

  4. Confirm the transfer — review the information and click Transfer Ownership. You will need to confirm the action, as it cannot be undone without the new Owner performing a new transfer.

Frequently asked questions

Can I recover ownership after the transfer?

Not directly. The new Owner will need to perform a new transfer back to you. If that is not possible, contact support.

Does the transfer affect my services?

No. All services continue running normally. No deploys are interrupted or restarted.

Can I transfer to a Viewer?

Yes, as long as the person is a project member. The member’s current role does not matter — upon receiving ownership, they automatically become the Owner.
