Adding and Removing Space Admins
TL;DR
Space creators and admins can add or remove admin roles for other users. Assign an admin when creating a space or via the gear icon in an existing space by changing a member's role to "Admin." Remove admins the same way by switching their role. Each space needs at least one admin, and External Users, Collaborators, Contributors, and Viewers can't be admins.

Important
Users on the Team plan have access to only one shared space.
The creators of space and space admins can assign and revoke the space admin role from other users.
When you create a space you automatically become the space admin. If needed, you can add other space admins and then also remove yourself from the list of space admins. Each space can have an unlimited number of admins.
Space admins can add and revoke space admin rights from other users at any time.
Note
Each space has to have at least one admin.
If there's a space in your account where the only space admin is no longer available, you can reach out to the Wrike Support team to add a new admin to that space.
