Transfer Super Admin
Overview
The super admin is the highest authority in an enterprise. If the current super admin needs to step down or delegate enterprise ownership, they can transfer super admin privileges to another existing member of the enterprise.
Warning: This action is irreversible. Once transferred, the original super admin becomes a regular member and can no longer manage the enterprise unless the new super admin transfers the role back.
Prerequisites
- You must be the current super admin of the enterprise.
- The target member must already be a member of the enterprise (i.e., they have accepted an invitation and joined).
Steps
1. Navigate to the Members Page
From the left sidebar, go to Enterprise > Members.
2. Initiate the Transfer
Locate the member you want to transfer super admin privileges to, then click the "Transfer Super Admin" action button in their row.
Note: The "Transfer Super Admin" action is only visible when you are the current super admin.
3. Choose the Target Member
If there are many members, use the search functionality to find the target member. Select the member from the list.
4. Review the Warning
A confirmation dialog appears with a clear warning about the consequences of this action:
- You will lose super admin privileges.
- You will become a regular member.
- The new super admin will gain full control of the enterprise.
5. Confirm the Transfer
To proceed, click "Confirm Transfer" in the confirmation dialog.
Once confirmed, the transfer takes effect immediately. The new super admin receives a notification, and your role is updated to member.
What Happens After the Transfer
| Before | After |
|---|---|
| You are the super admin. | You are a regular member. |
| Full access to all features. | Basic access only. |
| Can manage members, billing, and apps. | Can only view enterprise info and use assigned resources. |
Notes
- This action is irreversible. The only way to regain super admin privileges is if the new super admin transfers them back to you.
- You cannot transfer super admin privileges to someone who is not already a member of the enterprise. Invite them first using the Invite Members feature.
- Ensure the target member is trustworthy and available before transferring.
- If you no longer want to manage the enterprise but also do not want to dissolve it, transferring super admin privileges is the recommended approach.
