Promote or demote members

Promote Shaun Brown from Member to Owner in the DevOps team so he can approve channel deletions, then demote me to Member once he confirms ownership. Note any permissions Shaun will gain and any actions he should take immediately. Do this before I leave at 6pm.

Before I promote someone to Owner, make the consequences clear for the team. Pull up the actions Owners can take that Members can’t, show recent mistakes by Owners in this org that caused outages, and flag a two-week observation period I can attach if I want to revert the change easily.

I made Priya an Owner yesterday and today a critical review channel is gone. I don’t know if she deleted it intentionally, if an accidental sync removed it, or if a retention policy applied. What’s the most likely cause and the fastest set of steps to recover the channel or its content?

I habitually promote team members to Owners during crunches so decisions happen faster, and then spend weeks reversing reckless actions. Is the root cause weak temporary controls, missing delegation rules, or no rollback plan? Recommend a durable policy and one quick audit habit to avoid these recurring permission fires.
