  This page https://wordpress.com/support/user-roles/ notes:

  * Some Limits on Administrators
  Only the Site Owner (the user that created the site) can transfer site ownership to another administrator.

  So I created the site, but how do I know that I am the site owner? What if I add administrators and then someone kicks me out as Administrator. As Site Owner can I override that? Where is some more info about this?

  Hi again, if your account registered the site here on WPcom, you are the site owner. As such you cannot be removed by any other Administrator unless you first transfer ownership to another WPcom account. https://wordpress.com/support/transferring-a-site-to-another-wordpress-com-account/

  Transferring ownership effectively removes you entirely from the site. In order to rejoin, you’d need to be invited by the new site owner or one of the other Admins of the site.

  Let us know if you have other questions about this.
