Changing the account owner

    I just went through this with our account. It was a little lengthier than I had anticipate. We only have 2 seats and I wanted to switch the ownership from an admin to a contributor. Long story short, you have to update the owner, downgrade an admin, upgrade a contributor and then switch them to owner. Note, we could not do this version which is what we had originally thought we could do.

    Note: If you do not want to change the email address of the current owner profile, you can submit a request to Zendesk Customer Support and we can assist with adding a temporary agent seat to your account to create a new user profile.

    It says the request has to come from an email address in the company's domain. I assume this means we have to email it in, but the 'Zendesk Customer Support' page doesn't give an email option. Please can you advise how we do this?

    Hi Olga,

    If you are having issues signing in to your account, you can reset your password. If you are having issues receiving the password reset email, see this article: I am not receiving my password reset email.


    For all other issues signing in, you may check out I am having trouble logging in to Zendesk.

    when you transfer ownership to another member does the billing admin automatically change on the system to the New person ?

    Hi Roz, yes, once you transfer the ownership to another member, the account owner should be receiving the invoices going forward unless you want a different email address listed. You can also check who receives the invoices by going to In Admin Center, click the Account icon in the sidebar, then select Billing > Invoices > Recipients Tab. 

    Thank you! :)

    Sorry if a silly question, but: will changing the account owner also change the account owner on any existing Sandboxes?

    Hi Bill Reed thanks for reaching out! There are no silly questions here :)

    Great question actually! I can confirm that changing the account owner of the production account will NOT change the account owner of it's sandboxes. :)

    Hope this helps!
