Change the Owner of a Team Account – Smore

Management Dashboard & Ownership

Each Team Account has its own Management Dashboard, available only to the Owner & Admins.

From here, they can add or remove members and oversee all communications leaving the school or district.

⚠️ Note: Only the Owner can transfer ownership of the Team Account.

How to Change the Owner of Your Team Account

Step 1. Go to the Members Tab in Your Management Dashboard or from the nagivation bar at the top: Ensure that the person you’d like to assign as the new Owner:

Already has a Smore account, and has been added as a member of your Team Plan.
If they’re not yet a member, follow this guide to add them.

Step 2. Set the New Owner as an Admin

Find the member’s name in the list. Click the three dots to the right of their name.
Select “Change to Administrator.”

👉 Learn more about granting admin permissions in this guide.

Step 3. Make the Admin the New Owner. Once they’re an Admin:

Click the three dots next to their name again.
Select “Make Owner.”

They are now the new Owner of your Team Account.

✨ Pro Tip: Always double-check before reassigning ownership, since only one Owner can exist at a time.
