Updating the Account Owner Within Astalty
You can now update the Account Owner within Astalty. To do this navigate to the Users menu and select the user who you would like to become the new account owner.

Once you select the transfer account ownership option you will see the following pop up

- Enter the password that you use for your Astalty account.
Then select Transfer Ownership to successfully transfer ownership to this user.
Update your billing contact
The billing contact is the email address Astalty sends subscription invoices and receipts to. It's often set to a shared accounts team address rather than the account owner's personal email.
When you transfer account ownership, the billing contact is only updated automatically if it currently matches the outgoing account owner's email. If your billing contact is a different address, it stays the same — so it won't follow the change of ownership.
