I am leaving my company and I am trying to swap my Admin privileges to a colleague BUT when I try to verify the email I receive it says I do not have permission to do this.  Any ideas?

Hi Andrew, 

Welcome to Box Community and glad to help! 

To transfer the Admin privileges to another user, please make sure to check the following for the successful takeover.

  • The user taking over the Admin privileges should be an existing user in your Box instance. If not, please add the user first and here's how. 
  • Is the user's email domain verified in your Box instance? If not, please ensure that he/she's using your verified domain. Meanwhile if you need to verify your domain please follow the outlined steps here
  • Lastly, transfer the Admin privileges to another user. 

Hope it helps! Let us know if you have questions,
