About This Feature

Overview

Assign Team Owner is a team management feature in the WPS 365 admin console on Windows. It is used to transfer team ownership to a new person when a member leaves, the team structure changes, or management responsibilities are reassigned.

Core capabilities include:

Transfer team ownership for a team in Team Document Management.
Keep team management continuous during staff handoffs.
