Delete or transfer a project

Both actions live in the Danger zone at the bottom of the project page.

Leaving a project

Anyone except the owner can leave a project. Leaving removes your access immediately — you can be re-invited later by an owner or admin.

If you're the owner, you can't leave directly. You need to either transfer ownership first, or delete the project.

Transferring ownership

Only the owner can transfer ownership.

When you transfer:

  • The new owner gets full control of the project, including the ability to delete it.
  • You are demoted to admin immediately — same level as any other admin.
  • Only the new owner can transfer ownership again.

The transfer dialog asks you to:

  1. Pick the recipient (must already be a project member, can't be an external invitee).
  2. Acknowledge that you'll lose owner permissions.
  3. Confirm the recipient's name.
  4. Type the recipient's email address exactly to confirm.

If there are no eligible members, the button is disabled — invite someone first.

Deleting a project

Owners and admins can delete a project. Deletion is permanent and unrecoverable — it removes:

  • All flows under the project
  • All version history
  • All comments
  • All integration links (GitHub repo links, Jira project links)
  • All pending invitations

The confirmation dialog requires you to type the project's name exactly before the delete button enables.

Member accounts are not deleted — only the project's link to them.
