    Transferring base ownership from one workspace to another workspace in Airtable

    Workspaces can contain multiple bases and interfaces owned by one more more Airtable users. This article covers transferring ownership from one user or workspace another.

    Note

    We strongly encourage that all workspaces have multiple owners to prevent workspaces from being owned by an employee who is no longer part of the company.

    To transfer base ownership from one workspace to another:

    1. Open your Airtable homepage.

    2. Select the workspace containing the base you to transfer.

    3. Click the … icon of the base you want to transfer.

    4. Click Move base.

    5. Click the ⌄ icon and select your preferred workspace.

    6. Click Move base.

    Transferring workspace ownership to another account in Airtable

    Note

    Workspaces with only 1 owner must transfer workspace ownership to another user's Airtable account before removing themselves from that workspace or updating permissions.

    What are things I should consider before workspace ownership to another account?

    • If necessary, contact your admin and request they update the workspace or account ownership on your behalf.

    • When transferring workspaces from an inactive to active user:

      • Your IT department will take ownership of the inactive user’s account and create a new user account to take over as the owner.

    To transfer workspace ownership to another account:

    1. Open your Airtable homepage.

    2. Open the workspace you want to transfer to another account.

    3. Click Share in the top-right corner.

    5. Search for or locate the account where you want to transfer your workspace.

    6. Click the arrow next to the account name’s permission level under the “Permission” column.

    1. Click the ⌄ icon under the “Permission” column and select “Owner.”

    2. Click Confirm.

    FAQs

    How does transferring workspace ownership impact billing?

    The credit card used for that workspace's billing will continue to be charged, even after a complete workspace ownership transfer. We recommend coordinating with the new workspace owner to update the payment method as part of the workspace handoff process before removing your access. You can update the credit card on file from the payment section of the upgraded workspace's settings page.

    What do I do if I accidentally downgrade my permission level or remove myself from a workspace(s)?

    In that case, you must request a workspace collaborator to upgrade your permission level or re-add you back to the workspace.

    What surfaces do workspace owners own within Airtable?

    Workspace owners own all underlying bases and interfaces within that workspace.
