Change primary sharepoint admin

[AB21805]

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?

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

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
