A Cloud site can have one or more site owners. A site owner is the most privileged type of user in a site. In addition to being an administrator, a site owner has special rights over the site that regular administrators don't have. By default, the creator of a site is the only owner of that site. For redundancy and security reasons, a site ideally has more than one owner. That way, you are not dependent on a single person to manage the site.
This article explains what it means to be a site owner and how you as a site creator can add more owners to your site.
A site owner is the most privileged type of user in a site. All owners of a site have the same rights. A site owner:
For a user to become an owner of a site you created, that user must first be a member of your site. Invite any users to your site that you want to make site owners. The users must accept the invitation before you can promote them to site owners. Follow the steps in this knowledge base article to invite users to a site.
Have your site selected and browse to the Configuration > Account management > All accounts menu.
Select the user you want to make a site owner. Looking at the user's individual account, click Enable this account as a site owner.
You will see a pop-up informing you of the implications of making the user a site owner. Once you've confirmed that you understand the implications, click Save and exit. Repeat the same process for any other users you want to make owners.
The new owners will receive an email informing them that they were made an owner of your site. They are now listed in the Site owners section of your site's All accounts menu.
A site must always have at least one owner and cannot be orphaned. If you want to give up your ownership of a company site, first make someone else an owner. Only then can the new owner revoke your ownership rights.
Deleting your Cloud account requires you to either transfer ownership of your sites to someone else or to delete your sites.
