# Command: operator raft transfer-leadership
Transfer leadership from the current leader to the given server member.
While performing a [rolling upgrade][] of your Nomad cluster, it might be
advisable to transfer leadership to a specific node in the cluster. For example,
setting the leader to the first upgraded server in the cluster can prevent
leadership churn as you upgrade the remaining server nodes.
The target server's ID or address:port are required and can be obtained by
running the [`nomad operator raft list-peers`][] command or by calling the
[Read Raft Configuration][] API endpoint.
For an API to perform these operations programmatically, please see the
documentation for the [Operator][] endpoint.
## Usage
```plaintext
nomad operator raft transfer-leadership [options]
```
<Tip title="Required Permissions">
If ACLs are enabled, this command requires a management token.
