First Steps
You can make one of your project's guests the new owner of the project.
You can make one of your project's guests the new owner of the project. You must be the owner and be online. The person must already be a guest of the project: see [add a guest to a project](/kb/article/add-a-guest-to-a-project).
When you transfer the ownership, KOSMA changes only the owner. KOSMA does not upload changes that exist only on your computer. See [how your work is saved and synced](/kb/article/how-your-work-is-saved-and-synced).
In the **Project Manager**, click  **Open Settings** at the end of the project's row. KOSMA opens **Project Settings**. See [open project settings](/kb/article/open-project-settings).
Under **Guest Members**, in the row of the person who is to become the owner, click . KOSMA opens **Transfer Project Ownership**. The dialog names the email address of the person.
Only the new owner can make you the owner again.
Click **Ok**. KOSMA makes the person the owner of the project and makes you a guest. If the new owner had a date under **Access Ends**, KOSMA removes it. KOSMA closes **Project Settings** and opens **Ownership Transferred** with this message:
**Message:** You are now guest member of the project {project name}.
Click **Ok**.
As a guest, you can no longer do the following in this project:
- open **Project Settings** - rename, archive or delete the project - add or remove guests, or change their **Access Ends** - transfer the ownership to someone else
You can still open the project and work in the budgets and plans shared with you, as far as your licence allows. See [who can do what in a project](/kb/article/who-can-do-what-in-a-project).
KOSMA shows this message:
**Message:** Could not transfer project ownership to “{email}”. Only the current owner can transfer, and the new owner must be a project member whose access has not expired.
This happens, for example, when your computer is offline. Connect it to the internet and start the transfer again.
