Transferring Owner as an Admin

Hi ​@Roshawn Kelly, 

I understand you're looking for a way for an Admin to transfer ownership of projects and workspaces from associates who have left your company to someone else. 

As you might already be aware, only the original creator ("Owner") of a resource (File, Project, or Team) can transfer its ownership. The term "Owner" here refers to the creator. Being an Admin or Editor on a resource doesn't automatically grant you the ability to transfer ownership, though Admins and Editors can still perform most administrative tasks.

However, when an owner of a resource leaves your company, Organization Admins can remove that user from the organization. You can find more details here: Remove people from an organization
Here's what happens to the resources that user owned after they are removed:

• Teams they owned:
  The Team Admin(s) will be able to carry out any administrative tasks on the team. If there are no Team Admins, the Organization Admin will be able to claim the team from their Admin Settings > Teams tab. More on claiming teams: Org Admins claiming ownership of teams, then Transfer ownership of a team if necessary.

• Projects they owned:

  Team Admins can claim ownership of a project by opening the project and selecting "Join as owner" when prompted.

• Files they owned:

  The file will remain ownerless, but can still be managed by other editors on the file or the owner/editors of the project where the file lives.  Transfer ownership of files or projects if necessary.

• Contents of their Drafts:

  These can be moved to the organization's Shared Projects folder. Managed drafts of deleted Member

Thanks,
