[AWS] How do you replace the Account Admin?

jlb0001 — Tue, 20 Jun 2023 21:46:00 GMT

I need to remove an older admin that previously set up the Databricks Account. However, I get an error (even through I am also an Account Admin).

How do I replace a prior account admin? Or at least remove their admin status and/or disable the account from logging in?

I escalated via my Databricks rep yesterday and got an answer that seemed to be along the lines that "something is wrong here". He is going to try to find out internally and possibly work with the product development folks to come up with a solution. I wonder how other Databricks customers are managing this sort of issue?!

Was this ever fixed as I have got the exact same issue as our original AWS Account Admin has left the business and I now cannot remove his Account Admin role (but I have disabled access etc)!
