# Account Change

## How to Change the Creator (Owner) Account

The Creator (Owner) Account change feature allows you to transfer the authority of the "Creator (Owner)," who is the management administrator of the project, to other team members. Only the current creator can perform this operation.

## Common Use Cases

This feature is useful in the following situations.

**Change of Person in Charge:** When the project manager is replaced and you need to transfer all administrative rights to the successor.

**Personnel Resignation or Transfer:** When the current creator is resigning or being transferred, and you need to transfer owner privileges to other team members.

**Administrative Structure Organization:** When you want to reorganize owner privileges to match actual administrators due to organizational changes and other reasons.

> **DANGER** Important: Always log in with the creator's email address before performing this operation.

## Steps

Log in with the current creator (owner) account.

Click the **gear icon** in the top right of the screen and select **"Member Management"**.

Confirm that the member account you want to transfer authority to is displayed in the list. (If they are not yet a member, please add them first.)

Click **"Change to Creator (Project Owner)"** next to the member you want to transfer authority to.

For confirmation, enter the password of the currently logged-in account and confirm the change.

> **WARNING** If you will no longer use the old account (email address) in the future, click the "..." next to that email address and delete the account.
