Transfer team ownership, or take over when the owner has left

Hand a team to another member, and what to do when the owner can no longer sign in.

The team owner can hand the team to any other member in a few clicks. If the owner has left and cannot sign in, an Administrator can keep the team running, and support can help with the handover.

Transfer ownership

Only the current owner can do this, and the new owner must already be a member of the team. They can be an Administrator or an Editor.

  1. Open the team switcher at the top of the sidebar and open Team Settings.

  2. In the Transfer Ownership section, choose the New owner.

  3. Click Transfer Ownership, then confirm with Transfer ownership.

The new owner gets full control of the team, including billing and deleting it, and the team's billing moves to them. You stay on the team as an Administrator. Only the new owner can transfer it back.

If the team was your personal team, AddCal creates a new personal team for you.

Want to invite the new owner first? See Team members and collaboration.

If the owner can't sign in but an Administrator can

An Administrator can keep the team going from Team Settings: invite new members, cancel invitations, and change Editors' roles. Administrators cannot remove members or transfer ownership. Only the owner can do those, so to remove the former owner or make someone else the owner, contact support as described below.

If nobody can sign in

Contact support with:

  • The team name.

  • The email address of the owner's account.

  • The email address of the member who should become the owner.

We may confirm the request with the current owner before making the change.

Move events to another account

Transferring ownership moves the whole team. To get events into a different AddCal account instead, see Find the account that holds your events.
