Root account is created when customer/tenant gets on boarded. Root user is the first user for customer that gets added to system. There could be only one root account for customer, so there could be a need to change root account user in situations where a person is leaving the organization or change in roles.

To transfer a root account, navigate to Account Management >> Profile >> Transfer Root Account.
