I want to demote a co-administrator in Box, but I'm getting an error.

Please let me know if there are any requirements for demoting a user.

πŸ‘‹ Hi ​@masaoUchinoBox, welcome to the Box Community!


Admins and co-admins can modify co-admin permissions. As outlined:

Who can manage co-admins?

Only an admin or a co-admin with the required permissions granted (Users and Groups, Files and Folder, Reports and Settings) can grant and remove another user co-admin permissions. Co-admins with these required permissions granted can edit permissions for other co-admins, but they cannot edit permissions for the Admin.


Resources:


If you have sufficient permissions but still getting an error, please provide the error message so we can further investigate.


If it’s account-specific concern that would require further troubleshooting, please submit a ticket to our Product Support.


Thank you! We look forward to hearing from you.
