How can I delete a group administrator?

I've read in the man page of gpasswd, that the following command can be used to create a group administrator:

Code:

sudo gpasswd -A some_user some_group

Is there any way to turn a group administrator into a normal member?

I've been using Linux and Unix a long time and never used a group administrator.

I would think that you could simply delete the useraccount which has group admin rights and then recreate a regular user account to replace it. If the group admin has files you want to preserve just copy them to a tmp storage until you create the regular user account and then you can mv the files into the users home dir.

Thanks for your answer. Also works "gpasswd -A '' group_name", clearing list of administrators
