# Owner role

> The Owner holds the organization, connects the Google Sheet and is the only role that can change billing, sheet settings or delete the organization.

Each organization has exactly one Owner. The Owner is the person who connects the spreadsheet, and they must own that file in Google Drive.

## What only the Owner can do

- Connect or disconnect the spreadsheet.
- Set the policy for edits made directly in the Sheet and turn on lock mode.
- Choose delegates: people who may also edit the Sheet directly in Google Sheets, outside the app.
- Manage billing.
- Transfer ownership or delete the organization.

The Owner can also do everything an [Admin](/help/team-and-roles/admin) can.

## Sign-in requirements

Owners must use phishing-resistant sign-in, such as a passkey or security key, by default. Sensitive actions such as role changes, billing changes and connecting a spreadsheet ask for a fresh second factor.
