# Organisation settings - Owner

The creator of an organisation is automatically also the owner. As the owner, you have unlimited rights to the organisation itself and all affiliated sub-organisations.

Each organisation must have at least one owner. So if you want to change the owner, you must first add at least one more owner in order to be able to remove the original owner.

To add additional owners to an organisation, you can search for a participant using the input field or enter the email address of the person you want to appoint as the owner directly. An owner does not necessarily have to be a participant in an organisation.

|| ⚠️ Only owners of an organisation can add or remove other people as additional owners.
