What you'll need

• Space ownership can be transferred on all plans.
  • On the Enterprise Plan, owners can allow admins to add or remove people from Spaces using the Allow admins to manage private Spaces advanced permission.
• The Workspace owner, admins, and Space creator can transfer the ownership of a public Space.

Who owns a Space?

Spaces can only have one owner at a time. By default, a Space is public, and the person who creates a Space is the owner.

Owners and admins on the Enterprise Plan can make new Spaces private by default.

If a Space is made private, and the only person with access leaves, the Space becomes inaccessible to everyone in the Workspace except the owner.
