How can I transfer the ownership of a project?

In this article, you'll learn how to transfer the ownership of a Weglot project to someone else.

It's indeed possible to transfer the ownership of a project to one of your team members.

To do that, you'll have to manage the team member feature, which is available by managing a Pro plan or higher (see our pricing documentation).

⚠️ If the user who will become the owner organization of the project doesn't have an account yet, please note that he'll have to create an account and subscribe to a plan with relevant limits to receive the project.

Important information:

Please note that:

a. Only the current owner of the project can transfer the ownership.

b. The account that will receive the project has to be able to manage the project's limits, for example, the number of translated words and the number of languages.

It means that if your project has 10.000 translated words and 3 languages, your team member would need to upgrade to a Business plan to be able to manage it.
