Use this interactive demo to learn how to transfer account ownership in Zendesk Admin Center.

Quick summary

This guide shows how to change the Account Owner in Zendesk Admin Center by navigating to the Billing Contacts section and reassigning ownership to another admin. Completing this process sends an ownership invitation automatically to the newly selected account owner.


Steps

  1. In the Admin Center tab, go to the left-side panel and click 'Account'.
  2. Select 'Contacts' under the Billing section.
  3. On the main dashboard, click the 'Account Owner' drop-down menu.
  4. Browse the list and choose the specific Admin you want to assign as the new Account Owner.
  5. Click 'Save' to proceed with your selection.
  6. Click 'Change Owner' to confirm the ownership transfer request.
  7. An invitation will be sent immediately to the newly assigned Account Owner.

📌 Why this matters

Transferring account ownership in Zendesk is a critical administrative task that ensures the right person holds billing authority and top-level access to your support platform. Without a clear process, organizations risk losing control over subscription management, billing contacts, and admin permissions. Zendesk's built-in ownership transfer flow in Admin Center makes it possible to reassign account control securely in just a few clicks, with an automatic invitation sent to the new owner. This is essential for teams handling role changes, organizational restructuring, or employee offboarding.
