Remove admin access from a member on Professional plan

We are on a Figma Professional plan with multiple team admins.

I would like to change one existing user from Admin to Member, while retaining the user's existing Full seat and access to the team.

In the current Figma UI, the Admin dropdown only provides "Copy email", and Admin → People does not provide an option to revoke admin access.

Could you advise how I can revoke admin privileges from this user without removing the user from the team?

    Hi ​@Shirley T., Celyn from the Figma Community Support team here. Welcome to Figma Forum!

    Thanks for confirming that you have multiple team admins - that helps rule out the option being unavailable because the user is the team’s only admin.

    While we’re unable to assist with account-specific issues here in the forum, I’ve gone ahead and created a support ticket for you so the team can take a closer look at the backend and help you directly with this. Your ticket number is #2166222.
