# Note ownership

Once you create a note, you are the owner.

If you create a team note in a team workspace, the team becomes the owner. Team notes do not belong to any individual member solely.

# Tansfer ownership


You can click on "Tansfer ownership" to transfer the note's ownership to any workspace you're in.

Members within the team can also use the "Transfer ownership" button to transfer notes from one team to another team that you belong to.

# Note permission


If you are the owner of the note, you can set the note's open permissions through the Share menu in the top right corner of the navigation bar. This includes setting permissions for who can read and edit the note.

1. When the note's "Read" permission is set to "everyone," the note may be indexed by search engines, so please be cautious.
2. When the note's "Read" permission is set to "signed-in users" or "everyone," anyone who knows the note's URL can view it. To limit who can view it, please use the advanced permissions feature.

By default, the maximum number of editors for a note is 3. If you upgrade to the HackMD Prime Personal or Team plan, you can enjoy unlimited invitees!
