Transfer PowerApp Ownership

TL;DR

Reassign a Power App’s owner two ways: run the CoE Starter Kit admin app for a UI-driven bulk transfer, or use Set-AdminPowerAppOwner -AppName <AppId> -EnvironmentName <EnvId> -AppOwner <UserObjectId> per app via PowerShell. Either way you need Power Platform, environment, or Global admin rights — the previous owner keeps read access but loses ownership, with data and connections intact.

Governance takeaway

• Admins/CoE: for a single offboarding, run the CoE Starter Kit app without touching PowerShell; for a whole departed team, use Set-AdminPowerAppOwner in a loop instead, since the admin app isn’t built for bulk transfers — a two-tier process, the app for occasional one-off changes and the script kept ready for when a team leaves all at once.
