For some reason I joined a friends server which them made them the Admin of my Server. Now I am set as a Home User with admin privileges and not as Original Admin. There aren’t any settings for me to change this. Unless I have my friend make me the Admin of my own Plex server. All I did was accepted an Invite and now I can make myself the Admin that I was in the first place.

To be clear, that does not mean they are the admin of your server. It means they are the admin of the Plex Home that you joined. You still have full access to your server. Your friend does not have admin rights to your server.
If you want to be the admin of your own Plex Home, leave your friends. Have them reinvite you as a regular user, not a Plex Home user.
I did that and yet they are still the Admin. I do not have any other servers I am apart of and have left that server. How could my friend be an Admin if I never gave them Admin privileges in the first place? I can not make any changes to Home Users as well, so they do indeed have Admin where I the owner of the server do not.
You left your friends home like @
see the X at the far right, you have put your mouse over it for it to appear
did you try restart the server?
This has nothing to do with servers. This is at your account level. Only 1 person can be the admin of Plex Home. If you join someone else’s Plex Home, they are still the admin. You no longer have your own Plex Home, so you can’t be the admin. You are still in charge of your servers. Since you are not the admin of Plex Home, you cannot change users and such. You can still invite others to your server and they can invite you to their’s, but the part about Plex Home cannot be changed since you are not the admin of that specific feature.
I don’t know what you are trying to show with your screenshot. All I see is your server.
This happened to me as well. Help - I don’t like it at all and I think that Plex should WARN YOU if you lose Plex admin privileges. Right not it’s a small warning at the bottom of an email. TOTAL BS!

All you have to do is LEAVE the other persons HOME.

Thanks for this answer, but it unfortunately 1) it doesn’t address my complaint and 2) I wasn’t invited to another Plex server - this appears to be some sort of action I took. The person who now is the admin does not have a Plex server. He simply replied to my invite.
I guess I don’t understand how to leave the home.
I can see no signs of someone else being the admin of your server, in your account.
From where are you deducing this?
Can you provide screenshots? (PM me if you’re concerned about privacy)
