Testing and Issues Related to Admin Role Changes

Hello,

I would like to ask a question regarding user permissions.

Currently, all team members are admins. Recently, we plan to change the admin roles so that only I and another user, A, will be admins. The other members will retain general usage permissions, allowing them to read catalog data and perform SELECT operations normally. To test this change, I conducted the following experiments:

  1. I tried to remove the Admin access of a team member, B, on the workspace admin settings page, but this resulted in him being unable to use functions such as the workspace and catalog.
  2. Additionally, I attempted to recreate an account: I created a new account, C, and assigned it as admin. After deleting it and recreating it with the same email, this account still has access to features that only admins can use.

I would like to ask what settings I might have missed or how I can configure this to achieve the desired outcome.

Thank you.
