Company owner versus administrator

Administrators handle daily company settings, while owners have additional ownership-management responsibility. The permission boundary matters even when screens look similar.

How to apply it

Check the current role in Taskending membership settings. Company owners can grant ownership to another member. Use administrator access for operational management and ownership for deliberately sharing control of the company. Respect the last-owner safeguard.

A concrete example

A technical lead may need administrator access to manage integrations. Granting a second founder ownership is a broader continuity decision. Every support problem does not require owner privileges.

What to watch for

A role is an application permission, not a job title. Connecting a provider or selecting a repository differs from transferring company control. The last owner must not be removed without maintaining ownership.

How to check the outcome

Verify the resulting role in the membership list. Check the new owner’s relevant access and ensure ordinary members gained no unintended permissions.

How company, project and team differ

A company workspace defines an access boundary, a project organizes work context and a team organizes shared planning. They are more than interchangeable folder names.
