Changing the owner of an app

Abstract

You can change the owner of an app from the Workspace profile page or from the app's App settings page.

Workspaces own apps. When you add an app to Bitrise, you select the Workspace that will act as the owner of the app. From that point, only the owners of the Workspace can change the ownership of the app.

It can happen that you need to transfer an application on Bitrise to another Workspace. This can be done in two ways:

  • You can select the apps you want to transfer from the Workspace profile page's Apps tab.

  • Any given app can be transferred from the app's App settings page.

Transferring apps from the Workspace profile page

Owners only

You must be an owner of the Workspace to transfer its apps to another Workspace.

Apps with outside contributors

When transferring apps with outside contributors to a Workspace that doesn't allow outside contributors, the existing contributors are automatically removed from the app's team.

  1. Log in to Bitrise and hover over the left navigation bar.

  2. Make sure you have the right Workspace selected.
