Using the ChatGPT website, how can I change the owner of a project if the current owner no longer wants to work on it?

Hi @karmic verge. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

#

If you want to change the owner of a project in ChatGPT (on the website), the knowledge sources indicate the following:

  • Project owners have the ability to invite/remove members, set permissions, and manage the project. However, there is no explicit step-by-step guide in the knowledge sources for directly transferring project ownership between users via the ChatGPT website interface.
  • For custom GPTs, Workspace Admins/Owners can reassign ownership if the original owner leaves, and manage permissions for GPTs within the organization. This is specifically mentioned for GPTs, not general projects, but it suggests that Admins/Owners have elevated controls for resource ownership in collaborative environments Shared edit access for custom GPTs.
  • In the context of shared projects, if a member (including the owner) is removed, their shared projects are reassigned to a workspace owner. However, this is an automatic process upon removal, not a manual transfer of ownership Data retention when a member is removed from a workspace.

Summary:
If the current project owner no longer wants to work on the project, the recommended approach is for a workspace Admin or Owner to remove the current owner from the workspace or project. The project will then be automatically reassigned to a workspace owner. There is no explicit manual "transfer ownership" button described in the knowledge sources for general projects, but Admins/Owners can manage project membership and permissions, including removing users and thus triggering reassignment.

#

If you need to ensure a specific person becomes the new owner, a workspace Admin/Owner should remove the current owner and then assign the desired person as the new owner, if such an option is available in your workspace's admin controls.

If you are dealing with custom GPTs, Workspace Admins/Owners can directly reassign ownership Shared edit access for custom GPTs.

If you need more detailed, step-by-step instructions, the knowledge sources do not provide them for general project ownership transfer.

@sharp aurora so who would I remove someone from the workspace with simple free accounts?

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:

#

I'm sorry, but the knowledge sources do not contain information about removing someone from a workspace when using simple free ChatGPT accounts. The available documentation focuses on ChatGPT Business, Enterprise, and API platform workspaces, which have specific member management features. There is no explicit guidance for managing members or removing users in free (personal) ChatGPT accounts.
