How to change Work spaces Ownership

Hi,

I am having some trouble with changing the ownership for workspaces between licensed users. I am an Admin and have workspaces that I now own but need to transfer to someone else to own. I don't want to transfer all my workspaces, just a few .

Thanks,

Hi,

You'll first need to share the workspace with the new owner and you also need to transfer all the items and make them the owner. (If you're a System Admin, you can do this by bulk)

Please see the attached link/screenshot for more information.

Hope that helps!

Have a fantastic weekend!

thanks Andree,

I think by doing that I am transferring all my items to another user or do I have an option to select only certain workspaces?

See attached.

Thanks

I did that and now my workspaces are not longer under my ownership... How can I reverse that now?

How did it go? Did you manage to get them transferred back to you again?

Have a fantastic weekend!

hi, yes kinda off. Had to ask the new owner all my sheets back one by one.. not a fast or efficient way to do it.

As an admin can we be allowed to pick and choose who and what workspaces we want to transfer without having to go through all this? Just a recommendation.

Thanks Andree.

Glad to hear you got it fixed.

Unfortunately, there isn't a way to transfer Workspaces without first transferring all the items in it, but it's a great idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

Have a fantastic weekend!
