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
