Change primary sharepoint admin
Hi all, I need to change the primary sharepoint admin Im a site admin but I need to be the primary. I am unable to change this or remove the user from site admins. Any ideas?
- Hi,
This didnt work for me as the remove icon didnt appear (think it is because the user was a primary)
I did manage to remove it by going into site settings > Site Collection Administrators which has also made my account the primary
You need either Global Administrator or SharePoint Administrator role in Microsoft 365 tenant to add and/or remove site admins.
Check: Manage SharePoint site admins
