Admins - Transfer Ownership | Admin Guide - Zoho One

Transfer organization ownership

The user who signed up for the Zoho One account is the owner of the organization, and will remain so until transferring the role to a different user.
Notes
Only the current owner can transfer ownership to another user. Admins CANNOT perform this operation. If the user assigned as Organization Owner left your organization, you can write to us at support@zohoone.com and we will help you with the owner change.
The steps to transfer organization ownership vary between the three User Interface versions supported in Zoho One. Select the UI version you use from the below tabs and proceed with the steps that follow.
