How to change the account owner
Perhaps you are leaving the organisation, or someone else is better suited to be the account owner. You can change the account owner following the below steps.
Go to Organisation drop down > Subscription
Click "Change account owner"
Select a new owner from the drop down list.
In order to select a new account owner, the nominated staff member needs to be a System Administrator in Synergy. You can change the security access level from within their staff details page.
If your account owner is no longer with the organisation and no one has access to the account or email, please contact Total Synergy support for additional assistance.
Now you know what a Synergy Account Owner is and can do! Make sure you choose the right person to be your account owner as they will need to be available to make any major changes, and accept terms and conditions should they change in the future.
