How to remove an orgadmin who is a former employee ?

[Karthiga Sethuraj]

Hello Guys,

The org admin has left the org and I am a site admin. How do I make myself an org admin and how I can remove the former employee from this role ? Please advise.

This is my current view in the admin page.

Thank you!

Hi @Karthiga Sethuraj

adding to the great how-to Vinod already set up for you I'd wanted to remark that, according to your statement and your screenshot, you are currently not org admin but "only" site admin.
That means you would need to get hold of your former admin once prior being able to do all the steps that are needed right now.

In case he already left a somewhat common scenario is to access their mailbox and reset the password.
If there is a second org admin you certainly can approach them also.

As soon as this is sorted out all the steps Vinod described precisely apply.

Regards,
Daniel
