Transfer Room ownership when another teammate needs to manage sharing permissions, delete the Room, or change key Room settings. Use the in-Room flow for a fast handoff, or use the Rooms list when you manage multiple Rooms. Keep the Room moving when the original owner changes territories, goes on leave, or hands off an account. Aligned updates ownership immediately after you confirm.
