How can I change the account owner in Zendesk?
To change the account owner in Zendesk, you must be the current account owner. The process involves transferring ownership to another admin.
First, ensure the new owner has a verified email address and an admin role. In the Admin Center, navigate to Account > Billing > Contacts, and select the Account owner tab. Choose an admin from the drop-down list and click Save. If no agent seats are available, the current owner can edit their profile to add the new owner's email, verify it, and make it the primary contact. For more details, visit theoriginal link.
