Can't revoke the last Org Owner
You’re trying to revoke an admin’s access and the revoke dialog shows “Can’t revoke the last Org Owner — promote another admin first.”
What’s happening
Section titled “What’s happening”MapleGather requires at least one active Org Owner at all times. If the admin you’re trying to revoke is the only person with the Org Owner role, MapleGather blocks the action to prevent your organization from becoming permanently inaccessible.
This applies whether you’re revoking someone else’s access or your own. It’s a safeguard, not a bug.
The same protection applies when removing a member tag that’s used in a group binding for the Org Owner role — if removing the tag would leave zero Org Owners, MapleGather blocks the tag removal too.
How to fix it
Section titled “How to fix it”- Go to the Active admins tab of Admins (at
/admin/admin-security/admins). - Find another active admin you want to promote to Org Owner and select their name.
- On their Roles tab, select Assign role.
- Choose the Org Owner role (or a custom role with equivalent permissions) in the picker and select Confirm.
- Once the new Org Owner assignment is confirmed, return to the admin you originally wanted to revoke and proceed with Revoke access.
If that didn’t work
Section titled “If that didn’t work”- If there are no other active admins to promote, you need to invite a new admin and assign them the Org Owner role before revoking the current owner.
- If you’re trying to revoke your own account and there’s no one else to promote right now, consider using Account handover instead — it’s designed for this transition.
- If other admins are listed and you still see this message: MapleGather blocks the revoke only when the admin you’re revoking is the organization’s only active admin. Invited admins who haven’t accepted yet don’t count, and another admin revoked at the same moment does. Reload the Admins list to see who is active now.
