To replace a sole administrator
If your business decides to delete its only administrator, that administrator will have to create a replacement before being deleted. This is because administrators can’t delete themselves.
- Create a replacement administrator by either creating a new user (see To create a user) and making them an administrator (see To change a user’s access level), or making an existing user an administrator (see To change a user’s access level).
