# Assign a contact to another user (Change Owner)

**Requirements:** All users · Sales Add-on

Every contact in Lemontaps has an **Owner**—the person who is currently responsible for following up with the contact. This should not be confused with the **Owner role** within your organization (see *Roles & Plans Overview*). Here, **Owner** refers to the owner of an individual contact.

This feature must first be enabled by an administrator. [See the article *How Do I Edit the Internal and External Contact Form?*](https://support.lemontaps.com/en/how-do-i-change-the-internal-and-external-contact-form?hsLang=en)

#### View the owner in the contact overview

In your **Contacts** overview, the owner is displayed in a separate column, provided your administrator has made the field visible. When you open an individual contact, you can also see the current owner in the detail view.

#### Change the owner

1. Open the relevant contact in your **Contacts** overview.
2. In the **Owner** field, select the person who should take over the contact.
3. Click **Save**.

A message will appear informing you that when the contact is reassigned, it will be moved to the new owner’s contact overview.

#### What happens after reassignment?

- The contact disappears from your own contact overview.
- The new owner can immediately see the contact in their own overview.
- All other contact information, including notes, history, and enriched data, remains unchanged.

You can also reassign a contact back to yourself at any time by following the same steps and selecting yourself as the **Owner**.
