Demote an admin or owner

I need to remove Alex Mendoza's admin privileges in the engineering channel and across the workspace. Demote Alex from owner to member, but before I touch anything confirm which channels, integrations, and scheduled messages rely on Alex's credentials and whether Alex is the primary owner of any apps. Do the demotion on Friday at 5pm after I review the checklist, and notify Alex and the security lead once complete.

Before I demote Alex Mendoza, make the change as painless as possible for reviewers in Security and Platform. Surface a short summary at the top showing which channels will lose admin-level settings, list integrations and scheduled jobs tied to Alex, flag any places where demotion will block deployment or alerts, and suggest a fallback owner for each risk item.

I opened the Owner settings and hesitated because Alex is listed as the primary contact for two alerting integrations and a CI webhook. I do not know whether those integrations will stop posting if ownership changes, and I cannot tell if there is an alternate admin available. What is most likely to break on demotion and what is the safest immediate next step?

We keep delaying demotions and owner transfers until a deployment or alert causes an outage. Each time, last-minute firefights create emergency privilege escalations. How should we change our routine so admin handoffs are planned and tested, who should own the checklist, and what small habit will stop us from waiting for an incident?
