Who is the owner of a company in MargenOptimierer?
Last updated: 31 October 2026 · The MargenOptimierer app is in German. Button and menu names are shown exactly as you see them, with the English meaning in brackets.
The owner is the member of your company who holds the MargenOptimierer subscription and is the only one who can cancel it.
Whoever creates the company in MargenOptimierer becomes the owner. The owner always has the Admin role. Also, only the owner can transfer ownership to another member.
Example: Transferring ownership to a colleague
Say you created the company, so you're the owner, and a colleague also has the Admin role. If you transfer ownership to her, only she can cancel the subscription, and you stay an Admin.
What the owner does differently
Not a separate role
Owner isn't a separate role alongside Admin, Mitarbeiter (staff) and Nur lesen (read only). The owner has the Admin role and can do two more things.
Transferring ownership
Under Einstellungen (settings) in the Mitglieder (members) tab, open the menu in the row of the member who should become owner. Choose Inhaberschaft übertragen (transfer ownership) there. Only the new owner can transfer it back to you.
Role and leaving
As owner you can't change your role or leave the company. You can only do that after you've transferred ownership to another member.
