Still need help?

If you can't complete this Account Owner change using the steps above or need help from Sprout Support, send the following information:

  • Email address of the current Account Owner
  • Email address of the new Account Owner
  • Does the current Account Owner wish to stay on the account as a user?

Note: If you are part of an agency account, be aware that we may ask for secondary confirmation from the current Account Owner or the person in charge of the billing information before making the change to the owner's email address.
