Transfer dashboard ownership when someone else will take over managing a report—for example, when responsibilities change or you are handing work over to a teammate.
Who can transfer ownership?
The current dashboard owner or a workspace admin with access to the dashboard can transfer ownership. Having permission to view or edit a dashboard does not, by itself, let you transfer it.
The new owner must be an internal member of the same workspace. External users cannot receive ownership. Ownership transfer is not available for Overview dashboards or from an archived dashboard’s sharing settings.
Transfer a dashboard
Open the dashboard you want to transfer.
Open the dashboard’s More menu and select Share.
Find Transfer ownership in the sharing settings.
Use Select a new owner to choose the workspace member who should take over.
Click Transfer.
Check the person’s name in the confirmation dialog, then click Transfer again.
Hive displays Dashboard ownership transferred when the transfer succeeds.
What changes after a transfer?
The selected person becomes the owner. They take over the dashboard’s owner permissions.
The previous owner keeps access. Transferring ownership does not automatically remove them from the dashboard.
The existing dashboard stays in place. You do not need to duplicate it or rebuild its widgets.
A dashboard shared only with you becomes shared with selected members. This allows both the new owner and previous owner to retain access. It does not make the dashboard available to the entire workspace.
After transferring, review the sharing settings with the new owner to make sure the right people still have access.
Check dashboards shared on behalf of the creator
If Share dashboard on behalf of creator is enabled, review the dashboard with the new owner after transferring it. This sharing mode uses the creator’s view of the data, so the new owner’s access to the underlying projects and actions matters. Confirm the intended information is still visible before using the dashboard for reporting.
Troubleshooting
I cannot see Transfer ownership: Confirm you are the owner or a workspace admin with dashboard access. Check that the dashboard is not archived or an Overview dashboard.
The person I want to select is unavailable: Check that they are an internal member of the same workspace. The current owner cannot be selected as the new owner.
The transfer fails: Read the error, check your access and the new owner’s workspace membership, then try again. Wait for the success message before treating the handover as complete.
