Use this interactive demo to learn how to transfer ownership of an Airtable workspace to another user.

Quick summary

Transferring Airtable workspace ownership reassigns full administrative control to another collaborator in just a few clicks. This step-by-step process uses the Share menu and Permission Settings to promote any existing collaborator to Owner.

Steps

Go to the left-side panel and click the drop-down arrow next to 'All Workspaces'.
Select the specific Airtable workspace you want to transfer to another user.
Tap the 'Share' button at the top-right corner of the workspace.
Click 'Manage Access' from the Share panel options.
Under the Collaborators tab, click 'Permission Settings' next to the user you wish to make the new owner.
Choose 'Owner' from the list of available permission options.
Click 'Confirm' to apply the ownership change.
The selected Airtable workspace is now successfully transferred to the new owner.

📌 Why this matters

Transferring Airtable workspace ownership is a critical administrative task for teams undergoing role changes, offboarding, or organizational restructuring. Without a clear ownership transfer process, teams risk losing admin control over key databases and automations. Airtable's built-in permission management allows workspace admins to reassign ownership directly through the Share panel, ensuring continuity and data governance. This capability is essential for IT administrators, project managers, and operations teams who need seamless, secure handoffs of collaborative workspaces.
