## Overview

The Transfer Ownership feature in Onna allows administrators to reassign ownership of Data Sources, Workspaces, and more from one user to another. This ensures data continuity and maintains proper access control when team members leave or change roles.

All transfers are logged for auditing purposes, and email notifications are sent to confirm successful transfers.

## Audit and Notifications

- All ownership changes are logged in the **Audit Logs** for future reference.
- Notifications are automatically sent to the new owners to confirm the change.

## Best Practices

- **Audit Logs** — Regularly check the audit log to verify ownership changes.
- **Notifications** — Ensure users check their notifications to avoid missed updates.
