# [Set Up Your Project] - Transfer Stack Ownership to Other User

This page explains how a stack owner can transfer stack ownership to another user. It is intended for developers or administrators managing stacks and should be used when you need to change the owner of an existing stack.

## Transfer Stack Ownership to Other User

If you are the [owner](/docs/developers/invite-users-and-assign-roles/types-of-roles#owner) of a [stack](/docs/developers/set-up-stack/about-stack), you can transfer the ownership or make another user the owner of your stack in a few clicks. To achieve this, go to **Settings** > **Stack**, and click on **Transfer Ownership**. Enter the email address of the user you wish to transfer the stack's ownership to.

Once you click on **Transfer**, an email request will be sent to the specified user for accepting the ownership. As soon as the user accepts this request, he/she becomes the owner of your stack. You, then, do not have the rights to make any changes to the stack or to the content within.
