How to Add and Remove SharePoint Site Collection Administrators

Each SharePoint site requires two valid site administrators.  As people change change roles within the university or leave the university the site collection administrators for a SharePoint site may need to be edited.  There should always be at least two valid site administrators.  

To add or remove a SharePoint site collection administrator to a SharePoint site follow these steps (you will need to be a site collection administrator of the site):

1. Browse to the SharePoint site home page and click on the gear in the upper right hand corner of the site and select “Site information”.
   

2. Click on “View all site settings”
   
3. On SharePoint site settings page and then click on Site collection administrators which is under Users and Permissions.
   
4. This will open the Site Collection Administrators page, where you can see the Site Collection Administrators as well as add or remove SharePoint site collection administrators.  Note: you can also remove yourself as long as there is at least one valid site administrator.
