The message gets displayed since X requires a dedicated
app owner who holds special privileges in the app and any attempt at
directly editing the owner's role will result in an error.
Solution

- Sign in to Zoho One, then click Directory in the left menu.
- Click Applications, then click the app whose owner you want to change.
- Click Change Owner, then choose the new owner of the app.
- Click Change.
