How do I change the owner of a Space?

How to transfer Space ownership to another member in the Spacetalk App.

Only the Space owner can transfer ownership. When you transfer ownership, you will lose admin abilities including adding or removing members, creating Places and Routes, and deleting the Space.

Who this is for: Space owners who want to hand ownership of a Space to another member.

Important: If you want to leave a Space, transfer ownership to another member first — otherwise the Space has no owner and cannot be managed.

How do I change the owner of a Space in the Spacetalk App?

  1. Open the Spacetalk App and go to the Space whose ownership you want to transfer. If you are in multiple Spaces, swipe left to navigate between them.

  4. Tap your own profile — you can only initiate an ownership transfer from your own profile, not from another member's.
