Members
 
The Members page lists all the members of the Cloud account.  The first person on the list is the owner of the Cloud account followed by other members, if there is any.
 
You can transfer ownership to another member who has an admin role.  To do that, you will need to add a member first and the new member will need to accept the invite and create a Cloud account before you can transfer ownership.

Role description types:
  • Owner - an owner has full rights to all access point configuration, can transfer ownership, and can add or remove members.
  • Admin - the admin can make all access point configuration and add or remove other members except the owner.  The admin is not allowed to transfer ownership.
