# Transferring account ownership

Whoever first creates a team account within Mava will, by default, be the account owner. The account owner will be able to transfer their ownership to any other admins on the team from the [Team Page](https://dashboard.mava.app/dashboard/admin/team) within Mava settings.

Owners have no ability to update their permission or delete their own account. Only account owners will be able to see the 'Transfer Account Ownership' buttons within the team page. 

It is not possible to transfer account ownership to a moderator, ownership can only be transferred to team admins. 

Example team page showing a view from a team owner's perspective:

1. Owner & Admin doesn't see any option to delete or update their own role
2. Owners see transfer account ownership buttons next to admins
3. Owners won't see the transfer account ownership buttons next to moderators
