Remove Org-Admin from JIRA

[jim.flack]

Hi 

I see this question has been asked many times in the community however the answers don't seem to fit.

We have a single Org-Admin who has now left the business.  I (as a site admin) wish to remove him however all the answers I have seen seem to state I must also be an Org-Admin.  He was unfortunately the only Org-Admin.

How do I remove him and upgrade myself to a site admin?

Thanks.

I sent a password resent link to his email address and picked up the email.  I then updated the admin settings through his account.
