Change owner of Azure AD

Question

How do you change the owner of an Azure AD directory? I have two accounts and see the tenant/directory I want listed as a directory. I want to transfer the ownership to the other account.

UPDATE Ok. More information. I had one subscription and created 3 B2C directories. Each time I linked to the subscription, which is part of the process. Apparently you cannot have more than 1 B2C tenant linked to a subscription, so the other two were left "stranded" outside of a subscription. So I had to create a new subscription and associate the B2C directory with it, so it was a resource of the subscription. Then I used IAM to add the 2nd Azure account as a co-administrator of the subscription. I transferred the subscription to the 2nd Azure account.

The biggest authority in Azure AD is Global administrator. If you want to transfer ownership to another user, you only need to give that user Global administrator.
