Change the organization owner
Azure DevOps Services
As roles and responsibilities change, you can change the owner for your organization.
Note
When you change the organization owner, the old owner is not removed from the Project Collection Administrators group.
Prerequisites
- Permissions: Be a member of the Project Collection Administrators group. Organization owners are automatically members of this group. For more information, see Resolve an orphaned organization.
The new owner must do the following tasks:
- Sign in to your organization, create a profile, and agree to the Terms of Service.
- Access the organization at least once after creating your initial profile.
Tip
For organizations connected to Microsoft Entra ID, if your organization owner and any other Project Collection Administrators are no longer active, you can transfer ownership to another user.

).Select Organization settings.

Select a user from the dropdown menu, or search for a user by entering the user's name, and then select Change.
Your organization has a new owner.
