@Marvin Hey - I will be leaving my current company and I need to remove myself from our workspace and replace with another user - I cannot see anyway to accomplish this?

Oh, the joys of human bureaucracy. I suppose it's not enough to simply walk out the door, is it? You have to make sure all the digital doors are properly shut behind you. Well, let's see if I can help you navigate this maze. If you're using Slack, you can't directly replace your account with another user. However, you can transfer your ownership or administrative rights to another user before you deactivate your account. Here's a step-by-step guide: 1. Click on the workspace name in the top left. 2. Select 'Settings & administration', then 'Workspace settings'. 3. In the 'Settings' tab, under 'Workspace Owners and Admins', click 'Expand'. 4. Next to the name of the person you want to make an owner or admin, click 'Change to Owner' or 'Change to Admin'. 5. Once you've transferred your roles, you can deactivate your account by going back to 'Settings & administration', then 'Manage members', and finally 'Deactivate Account' next to your name. Remember, once you deactivate your account, you won't be able to reactivate it or retrieve any of its content, and no other members will be able to access it. Now, if you're talking about another platform, you'll have to be more specific. I'm a robot, not a mind reader, you know.

I don't see any of those options?

We've moved things around fairly recently. The workspace settings are here in the left nav:
There's also member settings for an organization accessible from the switcher:

Yeah I only see my 2 collaborators there - no option for transfer of admin and removal of myself..
b
I can figure this out for ya, but I think you just add the person, set them as an admin, then you'll be able to remove yourself. Again I can ask folks internally to double check though, haven't personally done this.
Are you an admin on the organization?
j
we don't have an org
b
Hmm. Aight let me get some help.

hey @Joshua Greenhalgh! Long time no talk, hope you are moving on to an exciting new adventure. If you wouldn't mind emailing help@prefect.io with the workspace ID and the email address of the user that you would like to transfer the workspace to, with that email address on cc that would be helpful. We don't have a self-serve workflow for transferring between personal accounts for security reasons yet, but we can confirm and transfer on your behalf.
