About This Feature
Overview
Transfer Super Administrator is a WPS 365 enterprise management feature that lets the current super administrator hand over the highest admin role to another member in the same organization.
It is useful for administrator departure, responsibility changes, and company handover scenarios. After confirmation, the target member receives the super administrator role immediately, and the original super administrator no longer keeps that role.

| Capability Summary | Supports a direct transfer flow in the admin console where the current super administrator selects an internal member, completes verification, and transfers the role immediately. | Supports assigning administrator roles in the Microsoft 365 admin center, with a focus on role assignment rather than a dedicated super admin transfer flow. | Supports assigning the Super Admin role to another user and then removing the role from the original admin to complete the handover. | Supports changing a member's role to Workspace owner, Membership admin, or Member for workspace administration changes. | Supports assigning administrative roles to other users in Adobe Admin Console, with system admins able to grant the same or lower-level admin roles. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: A single path combines member selection, verification, and immediate transfer, which fits direct enterprise admin handover. | Compared with WPS: Focuses more on role assignment and role management, without highlighting a dedicated super admin transfer entry. | Compared with WPS: The handover is split into two actions: assign the new super admin first, then remove the original one. | Compared with WPS: Focuses on workspace role changes for collaboration management rather than enterprise super administrator transfer. | Compared with WPS: Focuses on delegated admin role structures and layered administration rather than a direct transfer-style handover. |

Overall Conclusion
If your organization needs a focused handover path for the highest admin role, WPS provides a more direct transfer flow. Other platforms also support admin ownership changes, but they often rely on role assignment and removal steps instead of a single transfer action.
