Transfer StaffNest ownership

Hand the panel to another manager through the owner transfer process.

A StaffNest ownership transfer hands control of this server’s StaffNest workspace to another person. It does not transfer ownership of the Discord server. Giving someone an administrator rank or reinviting the bot is not an ownership transfer.

Prepare the handover

Only the current StaffNest owner can initiate it. The recipient must have an eligible staff profile linked to a Discord account. Check their identity, availability and membership in the Discord server. The bot must be able to verify the people involved.

Explain which responsibilities are being handed over and have the recipient sign in before starting. Do not share your own login or Discord credentials.

Send a transfer request

Open your server’s ownership transfer settings as the current owner.
Select the intended recipient, checking their Discord ID rather than only a display name.
Review the confirmation and submit the request.
Tell the recipient to review it from their own account.

A request must be accepted within 48 hours. Only one request can be pending at a time.

Review a request

The recipient opens the request, verifies the server and both identities, chooses to accept or decline, and confirms the decision. After acceptance, check that the new owner can access settings. If the former owner should keep some management access, the new owner can assign an appropriate panel role.

Cancel, expire or recover

The current owner can cancel a pending request before acceptance. A declined, cancelled or expired request does not change ownership. A request can also become invalid if the relevant rights or membership change. Refresh its status before trying again.

The history shows the twenty most recent completed requests available to you. After acceptance, reversing the handover requires a new transfer initiated by the new owner.

If Discord verification fails, check the bot and both people’s membership. If the recipient is missing, check their linked staff account and refine the search, which returns up to fifty people. Transfers are disabled in the demo. Contact StaffNest support if the original owner can no longer access their account or the workspace’s ownership needs recovery.
