- 1.Navigate to the "Validators" tab and click on the "+Add Validator" button.
Validators tab
2. Fill out the name and validator ID and click on the "Next" button.

For users who would want to perform the authority transfer in a safer way there is an option to make a Safe Authority Transfer (SAT).
SAT creates a transaction in the Squad, which needs to be signed by both Squad's Vault PDA and the current authority holder.
To perform a Safe Authority Transfer (SAT):
- 1.Add your CLI wallet to the Squad. Check the Owners and Setting page for more info on how to add members.
- 2.Click on the "Create SAT" button.
- 3.Enter a description (optional) and run a transaction inside your Squad.
- 4.Once the transaction meets the confirmation threshold, execute it with your CLI wallet, which you added to your Squad. More on transactions here.
- 5.After the transaction is executed, the withdraw authority will be transferred to your Squad.
A validator withdraw authority can be reassigned to a different address via the UI or Squads CLI tool after it has been transferred to a Squad.
