Guide
Navigate to the board you want to change the owner for.
Click on the ellipsis icon in the top-right corner of the board.
Select 'Configure board' from the dropdown menu.
Click the drop-down menu to select a new administrator for your Jira board.
To transfer ownership, remove the existing owner by clicking the 'x' next to their name and add the new owner as an administrator.
A notification pops up confirming the action.
By following these steps, you can easily change the owner of your board by changing the administrator and only the current board owner can perform these changes.
