An organization owner is a user who can administer the organization: add, view and delete members; change member permissions; create and manage teams and projects; edit billing information; and so on.
The user who created an organization automatically becomes its owner. An owner can also add or remove other owners. Each owner takes up a Designer seat in the organization.
| Tip: | We recommend that organizations have several owners. This way if one owner is away or leaves the company, there are others who can continue managing the organization. |

Transfer organization to another owner
To transfer the organization to another owner, you need to add a new owner, update the billing information (if needed), then ask them to remove you from the list of owners:

If you are the only owner of the organization, give another member the Owner permissions (see above).

Ask the new owner to confirm that they can access the organization settings (profile, members, teams).
