Transfer ownership of your account
Hands the account to another of its users. Only the current owner may do this — 403 not_customer_owner for anybody else. The new owner must already be one of the account’s people; 404 when they are not, the same answer as for nobody at all.
Ownership is what cannot be taken away from inside the account: the owner can always administer everything, whatever their organisation list says, removing their last organisation never locks them out, and only the owner can remove people. Transferring it is therefore the widest change this API makes, and it is recorded in the activity feed.
409 ownership_changed when the owner changed while the request was in flight — read GET /customer to see who owns the account now.
