# LAST_OWNER_REQUIRED

- Surface: API
- HTTP status: 409
- Details: `{ orgId: string }`

## Cause

The change would leave a shared Organization with no owner, which would strand every member without an escalation path.

## Fix

Promote another member to owner first, then retry the removal or role change.
