Removal of account admin

IN
New Contributor II

Hi, 

I'm having issues with removing account admin (probably the first one, to which databricks account was related to). Under user management, when I hit the delete user button, it prompts:

Either missing permissions to delete <user_email> or deleting own account.

If I try to revoke roles permission (Account admin) it prompts:

PERMISSION_DENIED: Cannot remove roles for ID.

I have an account admin permissions on the databricks.

I have also tried removing account using databricks CLI: 

databricks account users delete <ID>

Error: Either missing permissions to delete <account> or deleting own account.

This error typically occurs when attempting to remove the 'account owner.' The account owner is the user who originally set up the Databricks account. This entitlement is attached to a user so that there is always at least one account admin who can authenticate if all other admins are removed. You can create a support case with Databricks to request that the account ownership entitlement be transferred to another user and then remove this user.
