I am the sole doc owner, but I added a second person as Doc Admin for the purposes of locking. Now I want to remove her, but it seems the interface offers no such option. Is anyone aware of a solution to this? ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/coda1/original/3X/7/9/79bb88d97e0773d7d5d0a40e917366c5fe45b2a9.png) ---

Dear @Nad, I suggest that you will need to remove her in the sharing settings ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/coda1/original/3X/a/0/a063c1ad24de3197109d62586dfd12d1579ac56f.png) This support page might be helpful to, depending on how your docs are stored. > **[Changing ownership of your Coda docs](https://help.coda.io/en/articles/3836375-changing-ownership-of-your-coda-docs)** > > Learn how to transfer ownership of your docs to someone else EDIT: Please be aware that you can update the settings on the location as shown in the picture below: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/coda1/original/3X/7/3/73997333baf7fc93f5f983ff20bddda534f0ecf8.png) ---

Thanks @Jean_Pierre_Traets, maybe I need to clarify further: I would like to remove the person from being Doc Admin (ie, one who has the ability to decide the locking settings of each page) but keep her as Editor on the doc. It seems the Doc Admin ‘concept’ is specific to the page locking feature and is nowhere to be mentioned in the sharing settings. There are only Owners and Editors in sharing settings. ---

Dear @Nad, You might want to have a look at this location to update the settings for each member: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/coda1/original/3X/e/5/e5ec70e3dff906f335c3678066eb2625f383c81a.png) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/coda1/original/3X/a/3/a3f9faf2ac17380712c8843a943c51b9f7505913.png) > [@Launched: Manage workspace members from Workspace settings \[Pro, Team, Enterprise\]](https://connect.superhuman.com/t/launched-manage-workspace-members-from-workspace-settings-pro-team-enterprise/29566): > > Managing a team is no easy feat — especially when it comes managing members’ roles and permissions across your tool stack.

Our top line takeaway was that while the power and functionality were there, it lacked the familiar flow admins rely on to navigate the dozens of tools their teams use every day.

I really appreciate you taking the time to help @Jean_Pierre_Traets. However, I do need to point out that you’re answering a different question. You’ve illustrated how to change the _Workspace_ Admin. But the person in question is no such thing, as you can see here: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/coda1/original/3X/e/2/e22509c51ebd53497523d16f3bd2999f3b3b0ae3.png) The role that I am trying to remove from her is as _Doc_ Admin of a specific doc, as narrowly defined in the context of Doc Settings → Locking → Settings, where you can add, but- and this is the crux of the matter, not remove, Doc Admins who can control the locking settings specific to that doc. I am finding it hard to believe that I am the first person to encounter such issue, so I could very well be missing something obivious. Maybe one of the Codans can enlighten us! ---
