Assign a Project's Ownership to Another User

At times, you may want to assign a project's ownership to another user. For example, when a project's owners are removed or have left the organization, you should assign the Project Owner role to another project user.

  1. In the left navigator, click Organization Organization.
  2. Click the Projects tab.
  3. Click the Owner filter button.

    If you can't find the project in the filtered list, you aren't assigned the project's Project Owner membership. You should assign the project's ownership to yourself before you assign it to another user.

    1. Click the All filter button.
    2. Locate the project.
    3. Click Update Project Actions.
    4. Select Assign Me as Owner.
  4. Click the project's name to open it.
  5. Click the Team tab.
  6. If the user whom you want to assign the ownership is already a member, click the Change Membership Change Membership icon icon and select Project Owner.
    If the user is not a member, add the user to the project.
    1. Click + Add Member.
    2. Click the Username drop-down list and select the user.
    3. Select the Project Owner membership.
    4. Click Add.
  7. After adding the user, you can remove yourself from the project. Click Remove the remove icon next to your name. In the dialog box that opens, click OK.
