# Unassign Agents

> Reassign agents that lost their owner after a workspace member is removed or deactivated.

<Info>
  Agent management features are available to workspace administrators.
</Info>

Unassigned agents are agents that no longer have an active owner. This typically happens when the original creator leaves the workspace or their account is deactivated.

## What Are Unassigned Agents

An agent becomes unassigned when:

* The owner's account is removed from the workspace
* The owner is deactivated through SCIM or manual admin action
* The original creator transfers ownership but the new owner is later removed

<Info>
  Unassigned agents continue to function normally for users. However, they cannot be edited until a new owner is assigned.
</Info>

## Why Reassignment Matters

Without an owner, an agent:

* Cannot be updated or modified
* Has no one responsible for maintenance
* May become outdated over time
* Cannot receive feedback responses from users

## How to Reassign Ownership

1. Go to [Workspace Settings → Agents](https://app.langdock.com/settings/workspace/agents)
2. Filter by **Unassigned** to find agents without an owner
3. Click the **⋮** menu on the agent and select **Assign owner**
4. Search for and select a workspace member as the new owner

<Tip>
  Regularly review your unassigned agents list, especially after offboarding team members. This ensures all agents remain maintained and up-to-date.
</Tip>

## Best Practices for Ownership

* Assign agents to team leads or department heads who can ensure ongoing maintenance
* Consider creating a shared service account for organization-wide agents
* Document ownership expectations in your AI governance policies
* Set up a regular review schedule to check for unassigned agents
