Overview & background
If your 'Account Owner' is leaving the company or is on an extended leave or vacation, it's typically a good idea to change the 'Account Owner'. If another user in your company is made the account owner, they will become the de facto 'Owner' of all of the projects covered under the account.
While you can only have one 'Account Owner', you can have several 'Account Managers'. There's really no functional difference between the 'Account Owner' and 'Account Managers'-- each can create new projects under the account, add and remove users, and update billing information. Any 'Account Manager' can be made the 'Account Owner' at any point throughout.
