# How To Transfer a BetterShield Hub Workspace?

Make another member the owner of a BetterShield Hub workspace and understand the access each person keeps.

In **[BetterShield Hub](/bettershield-hub/)**, **Hand this workspace over** on **Settings › Team** makes another member the workspace owner.

_**Note:** Sign in to your free [BetterShield Hub](/bettershield-hub/) account. Your workspace role and site permissions determine which information and actions you can use._

## What it does

The chosen member receives full control of the workspace, its sites, members and settings. The confirmation explains the role the current owner keeps after the handover.

## Step 1: Open Settings › Team

Make sure the new owner is already a workspace member.

## Step 2: Transfer a BetterShield Hub workspace

- Open **Settings › Team**.
- Under **Hand this workspace over**, choose the member. No member is selected by default.
- Read the confirmation and confirm the transfer.

## Recommended settings

Our advice:

- Confirm the new owner controls their sign-in email and has a passkey or two-factor set up.
- Review site access and alert destinations before the handover.
- Keep a written handover record outside Hub.

## What it can break and how to undo

The old owner no longer controls ownership-only actions after the transfer. Only the new owner can transfer it back.

The new owner can change or remove other members, including the former owner.

## Final Outcome

The chosen member shows **Owner** in **Members**.

- The former owner shows the role described in the confirmation.
- Ownership-only workspace controls are available to the new owner.
