This guide explains how to securely transfer ownership of a PhantomBuster workspace by updating the admin email. Whether you're handing off the workspace to a colleague or a client, follow these steps to make sure access and responsibilities are updated properly.
How to transfer ownership
To transfer ownership, update the email address tied to the current workspace owner’s user account. This will automatically assign ownership and admin rights to the new person.
Here’s how to do it:
- Hover over your name in the top-right corner of your PhantomBuster workspace.
- If you have more than one workspace, ensure the correct workspace is selected from the drop-down menu next to your currently active workspace. Look for the ✔️ symbol next to the active workspace name.
- Under your My Space section, select My personal settings.
- Click Change email address.
- Enter the new owner’s email.
- Ask the new owner to check their inbox and click the verification link to confirm.
Once the new email is verified, ownership and admin rights will transfer automatically.
Important considerations
Before transferring ownership, make sure the new email address is eligible and ready to use.
Here are a few things to keep in mind:
- The new email address must not already be linked to another PhantomBuster account.
If it is, the user will need to:
- Log into their existing PhantomBuster workspace.
- Change their email address in My space > My personal settings (same steps as above) to free up the desired email.
- Until the new owner verifies their email, the original user remains the workspace owner and admin.
This process helps maintain workspace continuity and data security, there's no need to delete or recreate the workspace.
