I want to remove a user. What happens to the teams they own?

I am a Figma admin. The owner of one our teams has left the company, and I need “editor” access to that team so I can do some work, but can’t grant myself access because I’m not the team owner.

The Figma help section says “If they are the current owner of the team, they will need to transfer ownership of the team to another member before you can remove them.”

Do I have any options besides calling our former employee and asking them to log in and transfer ownership of the team?

I don’t think there is a way, but Figma support may be able to help: Submit a request – Figma
