Transfer ownership

Promote another member to owner.

  • Only the current owner can transfer ownership. Admins cannot.
  • The incoming owner must already be a member of the syndicate. If they’re not, invite them first and wait until they accept.
  • Transferring ownership demotes you to admin automatically. A syndicate always has exactly one owner.
  • Ownership controls only one thing members cannot do: deleting the syndicate. All other admin-capable actions remain available to you afterwards. See Role capability matrix.
  1. Open the syndicate and switch to the Members tab.
  2. Tap the member you want to promote. The Edit Member dialog opens.
  3. Open the Role dropdown. The Owner option is listed at the top — it only appears when you, the current owner, are editing a different member.
  4. Select Owner.
  5. A Transfer Ownership? confirmation dialog appears: “{Name} will become the owner. You will be changed to Admin.” Tap Transfer to proceed or Cancel to back out.
  6. Tap Save in the Edit Member dialog to commit the change.

After saving, the promoted member is the owner. You are the admin. A snackbar confirms the change.

  • The Owner option isn’t in the role dropdown. You’re not the current owner, or you’re looking at your own membership. Only the current owner — editing a different member — can see the Owner option.
  • You clicked the wrong member. Back out of the dialog with Cancel. Nothing has changed until you tap Save.
  • You want to transfer back. The new owner must now repeat these steps to promote you.
