Workspace Owner

The Owner is the user who created the workspace, or someone to whom ownership was transferred.

Owner rights

The owner has full access to everything in the workspace:

  • Integrations: add, remove, reconnect any data sources
  • Reports: create, edit, delete, run any reports
  • Team: invite and remove members, change roles
  • Subscription: view and change the plan, manage billing
  • Settings: change the time zone, currency, workspace name
  • Deletion: delete the entire workspace

Responsibilities

  • Keep the plan and payment up to date
  • Control member access
  • Watch for limit overages

Transferring ownership

Only the current owner can transfer ownership:

  1. Open Team in the sidebar menu
  2. Find the member in question
  3. Click ⋮ → Transfer Ownership
  4. Confirm the action

After the transfer:

  • You lose owner rights
  • Your role changes to whatever the new owner selects (usually member)
  • The transfer cannot be undone without the new owner's involvement

Limitations

  • A workspace always has exactly one owner
  • The owner cannot be removed from the workspace (only ownership can be transferred)
  • A user who hasn't accepted an invitation cannot be made owner
