# Change container ownership
Portainer allows you to limit container management to specific teams or users.
From the menu select **Containers** then select the container whose ownership you want to change.
Under the **Access control** section tick the **Change ownership** checkbox then select the new ownership type, using the table below as a guide.
| Ownership Type | Overview |
| -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Administrators | Only Portainer administrators can manage the container. |
| Restricted | Only teams or users you specify can manage the container. |
| Public | Anyone who has [access to the environment](broken://pages/-MhRf3LxN2ln2V0-Yxmj) can manage the container. |
When you've made your selection, click **Update ownership**. When the confirmation message appears, click **Change ownership**.
