Employer Owners & Admin Tools

Tawnya
  • Updated

The role of Owner is limited to one user per company profile. This user has the ability to manage all roles, including editing the company's branding page and managing teammates in Handshake. 

Additionally, this is our main point of contact for the company, both for Handshake and for the company’s employees looking to gain access.

The Owner is typically the person who originally created the company profile in Handshake, however, this role can be transferred to another teammate if needed. For more details, refer to How to Transfer Ownership.

If the Owner of your company is no longer able to access Handshake, please reach out to our Support Team for assistance.
