# Transfer the ownership of a space

Source: https://yamm.com/help/admin/user-management/transfer-ownership-of-space/

Transfer space ownership to give another member the permissions to add or remove members, assign roles, and manage billing. You lose these rights when ownership changes.

## Transfer ownership

**Prerequisite:** You are the owner of the space.

1. Sign in to your [YAMM dashboard](https://app.yamm.com/login?continue=%2F).

2. In the sidebar, select the space, and click **General**.

3. In the **Transfer ownership** section, select the **New owner** of the space.

   Note: If a member doesn't appear in this list, they may have a Pending status, meaning they haven't created a YAMM account yet. Check the **Members** screen and, if that's the case, ask them to [sign up here](https://app.yamm.com/).

4. Click **Save** and confirm.

Ownership has been transferred. You are still part of the space as a regular [member](https://yamm.com/help/admin/user-management/whats-space/index.md).

## What's next

Have the new owner [remove you from the space](https://yamm.com/help/admin/user-management/remove-members-from-space/index.md) if you're no longer using YAMM.
