Project Owners

Project owners in Hive and how to change them!

Written by Ellen Kajca

By default, the project owner is the person who created the project. A project can have more than one owner.

To see the owners, open the project. Click More (⋮) in the project header and select Edit project. Then open Members. Owners show Project owner in the Access column.

What can a Project Owner do?
The project owner decides who can edit project members. In Edit project, go to Permissions. In Who can edit members, select Any project member or Project owner only.

How to change the Project Owner

Project owners and workspace admins can change project owners:

  1. Open the project. Click More (⋮) and select Edit project.

  2. Open Members.

  3. In the person's row, open the Access dropdown and select Make project owner.

  4. Click Save changes.

To remove an owner, select Convert to member in their Access dropdown. A project must always have at least one owner.
