Hi,

We have a bitbucket free account with 5 users. When we try to delete the user who originally created the workspace, it comes with a json error. We created bitbucket cloud account on 04/02/2025, how do we know if this is a personal workspace or shared workspace. Are we not able to delete because its is a personal workspace or its because the user deleting is not workspace admin?

How can we make the other user in the Admin group as workspace admin?

You can’t delete the original creator if your Bitbucket workspace is a personal one or if you’re not admin. To fix, add your new user to the admin group in Workspace settings. Only shared workspaces with multiple admins allow owner removal. @priyanka_chamala
