  ‘smhbloggen’ is a blogg for an organisation whthat changes board members every now and then.
  The original site owner, which I believe is Marte Ødegaard (please correct me if I’m wrong), left the board years ago. We have new mebers we would like to give editor and author access. Could you please explain how we can change the name of the site owner so that todays board members can be given this access?
  Thanking you in advance,
  Best wishes,
  Ingrid Harboe

  Hey there @ingridharboe , as long as you can log in as the site owner, you can change ownership using these steps. And if you’re an administrator, you can add other users and grant appropriate access as needed. Just be sure you understand user roles.

  Also, while we can’t give out info on who owns the site, a site admin should be able to spot the owning user here. We have account recovery procedures if necessary. Let us know if you need more help!
