Changing user account data

...

Within a team there are normal members (member), administrators (admin) and owners (owner). These statuses determine the operations a team member may perform within their team. Team statuses have no effect on rights within user administration or on object or function rights in EFS Survey. In general, you can simply ignore the statuses within teams. Exception: If you wish to delete an account of someone who is a team owner, you must first transfer leadership to another team member, before you can delete the account.
