Bitwarden Enterprise Subscription - Owner leaves org and account deletion ?!

TL;DR: Bitwarden enterprise subscription can be gone for all subscribers if “owner” account is deleted because the user leaves the org.

Current Bitwarden enterprise subscription is tied to a person/account. There is no provision or ability to have non licensed “administrator / billing” accounts, or multiple owners. Users are SCIM provisioned based on group membership, require SSO to login. Except the administrators and the subscription owner.

However the owner is tied to a user account, so if that user leaves the org, and his company account is processed/terminated by IT team, then that account will also be invalid in Bitwarden. How can this be better handled? One option is to re-assign the owner to a generic login and store that in Bitwarden in case of emergency. That does not seem well designed, and is open to abuse.

Hey there, we have more on this here: Managing access when the organization owner leaves | Bitwarden

And from: Member Roles and Permissions | Bitwarden

Only an owner can create a new owner or assign the owner type to an existing user. For failover purposes, Bitwarden recommends creating multiple owner users.
