How to become a team owner

There are three different permission levels in Datawrapper teams: Team owner, team admin and team member:

If you create a new team, you automatically become the team’s owner. 

Every member of a team can use the features of the team owner's pricing plan. For example, if you as the team owner bought a Custom plan with two custom design themes, everybody in your team will be able to create charts with these two themes, use the PDF export, and use all other Custom features.

How to change team ownership

Only the team owner can give the ownership to someone else. They can do this by inviting a new member as an owner. If they do this, they will no longer be the team owner, and will automatically be set to an admin.

If you're the team owner, you can invite somebody else to be the team owner in the team settings (here's a direct link if you're logged in). Select your team, then click on ① Members, ② Invite as... and choose ③ Team owner:

Make sure that there is always a team owner in a team. When there is no team owner, nobody in your team won't be able to delete members from the team.

If you have any questions or would like us to make changes in your team settings, please get in touch with support@datawrapper.de.
