Error When Deleting Existing Domain

Situation Admin or partner is unable to delete domain. Error: Admin must be assigned to domain
Solution Proofpoint checks to make sure an Org Admin is assigned to the account for managing any remaining domains.

Why Error Message appears

Proofpoint checks to make sure an Org Admin is assigned to the account for managing any remaining domains.

Solution

  1. You must have at least on user with an Org Admin role to remove a domain.
  2. Even if you have an Admin Contact assigned on the Profile for the partner, you must have an Org Admin on the actual account
  3. You can temporarily assign a user to Org Admin or create a temporary Org Admin account to get around this. But you may consider leaving a permanent Org Admin on the account to avoid future confusion for various functions that check for an Org Admin.
