Hi @mohamed abdmouleh ,

This forum mainly focus on the issues related to Exchange Server.

From the description, I understand that issue is more related to Windows machine user account administration. If not, please share the exact issue you are facing with Exchange server administration.

Hi @mohamed abdmouleh ,

As mentioned above by AshokM, here (Tag "office-exchange-server-administration") we mainly discuss technical issues about Exchange server.

If you meant the user account type in Windows machine like Windows 10, from what I know you can go to Control Panel > User Accounts > Manage User Accounts, double click the account you would like to change, choose Administrator:

If you are talking about reverting the user's account back to an Exchange administrator, the screenshot below shows the role groups which the Exchange administrator is a member of upon installation. You can add the user into the listed role groups or refer to this document to allow this user to do administrative tasks.
