How do I transfer MyOperator account ownership or change the Owner’s mobile number?

Tip

Only the current Owner can make these changes. Go to Manage → Users and click Transfer Role.


  • Transfer Owner to hand ownership to an existing user, or
  • Edit Number to update the Owner’s registered mobile (OTP required).


Confirm the action; both parties receive an email and an in-app notification once the update is complete.


When to use this guide


  • The current Owner is leaving the company.
  • You need to give billing control to another teammate.
  • The Owner changed their registered mobile number.

Only Owners see the Transfer Role button.

The new Owner already has a User seat.

You can’t promote a non-user. Add a user first.

No outstanding invoices.

Transfers are blocked until the account is in good standing.

Supported roles: Owner → Admin/User.

You cannot demote an Owner directly to "Viewer."

  3. Select the new Owner from the dropdown list.
  4. Click Update.
  5. Verify via the confirmation mode and choose Yes, transfer.
  6. Both parties receive an email and in-app notification confirming the change.




3. Method B — Update Owner phone number


  1. Go to Manage → Users.
  2. Click Transfer Role → Edit Number.
  3. Enter the new 10-digit mobile number and click Send OTP.
