How to change the admin from one to another

I want to set admin role for a member. But I can't find any function to do that. I'm leaving now

    Hi ​@Nghia Le Minh, Celyn from the Figma Community Support team here.

    Thanks for reaching out! I understand you’re looking to give another member admin access before leaving your team. Happy to help you find the option.

    On the Professional plan, an existing team admin can follow these steps:

    1. From the file browser, select All folders from the left sidebar.

    2. On the team page, click the down arrow next to the team name and select View members.

    3. Click the relevant person’s existing permissions dropdown and select Grant admin access.

    If you’re the only admin, you’ll need to promote another member before leaving. You can also follow along with our Help Center guide.

    Hope this helps! If you still don’t see the option, feel free to DM me a screenshot of the members panel, and we can take a closer look from there.
