# Transfer management of apps

It is possible to transfer the management of an app to another Quickbase user. You can perform a transfer if you are the app's manager, or an Account Admin with Full Management account access for the account containing the app. [learn more about built-in administrative roles](/v1/docs/quickbase-built-in-admin-roles).

> [!NOTE]
> When you transfer management of an application, it always remains in the same billing account—even if the new manager has application creation rights within a different account. Only an Account Admin or Billing Account Admin can [transfer ownership](/v1/docs/transferring-apps-to-a-different-billing-account-ownership-transfer).

## Transfer management of an application

1. Open the application that you want to transfer.
2. From the app home page, select **Settings**.
3. Select **App management**.
4. Select **Transfer app**.
5. Enter the user name or email address of the Quickbase user to whom you want to transfer the application in the text box, then select **Next**.
6. Verify that the user name or email address you entered is correct, then select **Next**.
7. Select **Authorize Transfer** to transfer the application, and send an [alert](/v1/docs/what-is-an-alert) to the user to whom you are transferring the application.

> [!NOTE]
> No application transfer is complete until the user to whom you are transferring the application acts on the alert and [accepts the transfer](/v1/docs/accept-an-application-transfer). When the new app manager accepts the transfer, an alert email is sent to the previous app manager.

> Account admins can go to Admin console > Apps to quickly access and transfer management of multiple apps.
