Transfer ownership to someone else

Screens checked 13 October 2026 · The team in the pictures is made up

A team has exactly one Owner, the person who pays for it. This is how the Owner hands the team to somebody else in it, and what that changes.

Who can do this
The Owner
What you need first
The new Owner already in your team, in any role. You will type the team's name to confirm.
How long it takes
About 2 minutes

Step 1: Open your Team page

In the app, under Your Timesheets, press Team page, the last item. On a phone it is in the list Hours opens, or under More. On the website, signed in, Team is at the top of the page or in its menu.

The app's menu for the team's Owner. Under Your Timesheets, the last item, Team page: Harbourside Café, is ringed.

In each picture, the thing to press or read has a ring around it. Tap a picture to see it full size.

Step 2: Go down to Transfer ownership

It is under Manage the team, below the boxes for inviting, roles and billing. Only the Owner has this box. Read what it says before you go on.

The Transfer ownership box, its heading ringed. It says the new Owner pays for the team from now on and you become an Admin, then asks for a New Owner and for the team's name, above a Transfer ownership button that cannot be pressed yet.

Step 3: Choose the new Owner

Under New Owner, choose the person. The list is everyone in the team but you, each with the role they hold now.

The same box with Dev Patel (Admin) chosen under New Owner. The New Owner box is ringed.

Step 4: Type the team's name to confirm

Type the name as the label spells it. Capital letters do not matter. Once it matches, Transfer ownership can be pressed.

The same box. Under the label Type the team's name, Harbourside Café, to confirm, the name has been typed and the box is ringed. The Transfer ownership button is now ready to press.

Step 5: Press Transfer ownership

At the top of Manage the team the page says it is done, and a moment later it loads again. There is no further question, and no undo: only the new Owner can hand the team back.

The top of Manage the team. Under the heading, a ringed line reads Done. Dev Patel is now the Owner and you are an Admin. You have both been told.

Step 6: What you see afterwards

You are an Admin. Billing no longer has buttons for you: it names the new Owner. The Transfer ownership box has gone.

Manage the team as the old Owner now sees it. People and roles shows Hana Marsh (you) as an Admin and Dev Patel as the Owner. In the Billing box a ringed line reads Only the Owner, Dev Patel, can change seats or the card.

Step 7: What the new Owner sees

A notice on their Team page says you are now the Owner, until they press Got it. You each get one email about your own new role.

Dev Patel's Team page. A ringed notice reads Your role in Harbourside Café has changed: you are now the Owner, followed by what the Owner does, with a Got it button.

What happens next

If it doesn't look like this

Transfer ownership cannot be pressed

Choose a New Owner, then type the team's name as the label spells it. Capitals do not matter, but an accent or a macron does: Café needs its é.

It says Invite the person who will take over first

You are the only person in the team. Ownership goes only to someone already in it, so invite them and wait until they have accepted.

There is no Transfer ownership box

You are not the Owner. Under Billing, the page names who is.

Leave says You are the team's Owner

The Owner cannot leave or be removed. Transfer ownership first. As an Admin you can then leave: in the app, under Settings, Teams, Leave is in the team's box, under Your own hours.
