Transfer Account Ownership
Transfers ownership of the account to another user, identified by user ID or email address. When the recipient already holds the owner role on the account, ownership transfers immediately and the response is { "success": true }. Otherwise they are sent an ownership transfer invite and the request returns 202 with { "object": "team_member_invite", "invitation_sent": true } — ownership moves when they accept it, and nothing changes if they never do. A recipient who is already a team member without the owner role is rejected; grant them the owner role first. The previous owner keeps their team membership and can remove it by deleting their own team member record. User tokens require the caller to be the original account owner and a step-up verified session. Business account API keys require the company:transfer_ownership scope, must belong to that exact account, and must have been created by its current owner.
Authorizations
An Account API key, account-scoped JWT, App API key, or user OAuth token. Prepend the key or token with Bearer, for example Bearer ***************************.
Headers
A unique key that makes this request safe to retry. See Idempotent requests.
