- **HTTP status**: `409`
- **Credit**: No credit taken

## Meaning

An account always has exactly one owner, so the owner cannot be removed or given another role. Transfer ownership to an admin first.

## Fix

Transfer ownership to an admin of the team, wait for them to accept, then change the role or remove.
