Transfer ownership of a Power Pages site

Transfer ownership of a Power Pages site when responsibility for managing the site moves to another user in your organization. The new owner becomes the primary owner of the site.

Depending on the site's permissions and configuration, the previous owner might lose access to the site.

Important

You can't automatically undo an ownership transfer. To restore the previous owner, an authorized administrator must transfer ownership back to that user.

Prerequisites

Before you transfer site ownership, ensure that:

• You are the website app owner and have any one of the following roles:
  • System administrator
  • Dynamics 365 administrator
  • Power Platform administrator
• You have access to the Power Platform admin center.
• The new owner is an enabled Microsoft Entra user with a Member user type.

To learn more about the roles required, see Admin roles required for website administrative tasks.

Important

Websites on Power Platform managed identity model don't need web app ownership as a prerequisite for initiating transfer. For other portals, if you don't see the ownership transfer option, check whether you're the web app owner. Learn more in Add an Owner to an Application Using Microsoft Graph.
