# Manage Members, Roles, and Settings in Your Workspace

> Update member roles, remove members, transfer workspace ownership, delete a workspace, and configure workspace-level settings in StaccShare.

As a workspace Owner or Admin, you can manage members, adjust roles, configure workspace settings, and keep the workspace organized as your team grows or changes over time.

## Changing a member's role

Navigate to **Workspace settings → Members**, find the member whose role you want to update, click their current role label, and select a new role from the dropdown. The change takes effect immediately — the member doesn't need to sign out or refresh.

<Note>
  You cannot change the Owner's role from the Members page. Only the Owner can transfer ownership to another member.
</Note>

## Removing a member

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Members list">
    Go to **Workspace settings → Members**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the member's menu">
    Click the **⋮** icon next to the member you want to remove, then select **Remove from workspace**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm the removal">
    Confirm your choice in the dialog. The member loses access to the workspace and all workspace files immediately.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Files the member uploaded to the workspace are not deleted when they are removed. All workspace content remains intact and accessible to other members.
</Warning>

## Transferring ownership

If you need to hand off a workspace to another person — for example when changing account managers on a client project — you can transfer ownership to any existing member.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Find the member">
    Go to **Workspace settings → Members** and locate the member you want to promote to Owner.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Initiate the transfer">
    Click the **⋮** icon next to their name and select **Transfer ownership**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm with your password">
    Enter your account password to confirm the transfer.
  </Step>
</Steps>

After the transfer, you automatically become an Admin in the workspace.

<Warning>
  Ownership transfer is immediate and cannot be undone without the cooperation of the new Owner.
</Warning>

## Leaving a workspace

Go to **Workspace settings → Members**, scroll to the bottom of the page, and click **Leave workspace**.

If you're the only Owner of the workspace, you must transfer ownership to another member before you can leave. This ensures the workspace always has someone with full control.

## Workspace name and logo

Go to **Workspace settings → General**, update the **Name** and **Logo** fields, and click **Save**. Changes are visible to all members immediately after saving.

## Default share settings

Go to **Workspace settings → Sharing** to configure workspace-level defaults that apply to every share link created inside this workspace:

* **Default link expiry** — set how long share links remain active before they expire
* **Default permission level** — control whether share link recipients can view only, or also download files

Members can still override either of these defaults when creating an individual share link.

## Deleting a workspace

<Accordion title="Delete this workspace permanently">
  Go to **Workspace settings → General**, scroll to the bottom of the page, and click **Delete workspace**. You'll be asked to enter your password to confirm.

  <Warning>
    Deleting a workspace permanently removes all files, share links, and collections inside it. This action cannot be undone. Download or move any files you need before proceeding.
  </Warning>

  Only the workspace **Owner** can delete a workspace.
