    Need to decouple domain XX from my account that now has two domains (XX and YY) under it and assign a different administrator to domain XX, without disturbing the admin and log in info for domain YY.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hello @mmisbell,

    If the user you want to be an Administrator for your domain XX is not yet added as a user to your website, please add them first by following the instructions below:

    1. Click here to go to your website’s team page. You will need to select your domain XX from the list of sites that will show up.
    2. Click Invite User button. http://prntscr.com/h0pl48
    3. Fill up the form with the user’s email address or WordPress.com username, role is Administrator. http://prntscr.com/h0pllx
    4. Click Send Invitation button.
    5. This user will now receive the invitation to their email, which they need to accept by clicking on the Accept Invitation button.

    You will also find more detailed instructions on adding users from this link.

    If the user you wanted to assign as an Administrator is already added to your website, but with a different role, you only need to change their role to Administrator.

    1. (On the same page) Click here to go to your website’s team page. You will need to select your domain XX from the list of sites that will show up.
    2. Click the user you wanted to assign as Administrator.
    3. Click the Role dropdown. http://prntscr.com/h0pnat
    4. Select Administrator, and click Save Changes button. http://prntscr.com/h0pnjt

    Warning: Please be very careful when adding a new Administrator user to your blog. Other Administrators are effectively co-owners. They have as much power over your blog as you do, including the ability to permanently delete it.

    You will find more information about different User Roles from this link. Similar topic thread was also answered here.

    Let me know if you get stuck anywhere, and I will help you.

    Regards,
