How can I change admin ownership of my project?

Learn how to transfer the admin of an account to a different user

Want to transfer your HelpKit project to someone else? No problem — here’s how to promote a different team member to Admin and transfer full ownership.

 
⚠️ Important: Each project can only have one Admin at a time. When you promote someone else, your role will be downgraded to Editor and all billing + project ownership will be transferred to the new Admin.
 

✅ Steps to Transfer Ownership

1. Make sure the new Admin has a HelpKit account

They must have already signed up and verified their email.

2. Add them as a team member

If they’re not already part of your project:

  • Go to Settings → Team Members
  • Invite them as a Viewer or Editor

3. Promote them to Admin

  • In the Team tab, click the dropdown next to their role
  • Select “Promote to Admin”
    • Notion image
  • Confirm the action in the popup
    • Notion image
 

This will:

  • Transfer the Admin role + ownership of the project
  • Migrate all subscriptions and billing
  • Convert your account to an Editor
 

🔄 After the Transfer

  • Ask the new Admin to refresh the page
  • You may need to log out and back in to see the changes reflected
 

🧾 Changing Invoice Email?

If you want to update the billing/invoice email address after transferring Admin rights, just contact us — we’ll take care of it manually.

 

❌ Want to remove the old Admin account?

Let us know! We’re happy to fully remove the previous Admin’s account if it’s no longer needed.
