Change the account owner

Sometimes, such as when a user leaves the company or the company or project
name changes, you need to change the primary user, also known as the account owner,
for Rackspace Cloud and Amazon Web Services (AWS) accounts through the
Cloud Control Panel.

Note: Only the current account owner can assign a new account owner.

When you change the account owner, the following events occur:

• You must select the new or promoted user from existing users on the account.
  The selected user becomes the primary contact and has full control over the
  account.
• The former or demoted primary user is set as an Administrative contact type
  and given basic Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) Identity permissions. You
  might need to set up RBAC permissions for the demoted user, depending on the
  use case.

Control Panel:

   you want to assign as the new account owner.
