Hi all,
How can I change my admin rights to another in Teams?
I’m leaving the team and have lots of boards that the rest of the team don’t want to loose if I left without replacing my admin rights to another in the team. Can you please help?

Thanks for reaching out!
You can do this in 2 ways.
- assign a Team Admin role
- Go to your Team settings, Click on Team users. Click the three dots next to the user you wish to take over your role and choose Grant Team Admin.
- Leave the team
- In the team settings > team profile, click the leave button and assign which among the current members will take the Admin role
Hope this helps!

Thank you! It did help. The only option I was able to use was leaving the Team and assigning someone else to it. Thanks again 🙏🏽
