One admin can't revoke another admin

I have 2 admin accounts. Here is what I did. I logged in as a 1st admin, revoked the admin rights of the 2nd admin. Status changed to “Admin? No”. Then I logged in with this 2nd account in ‘incognito’ mode. Admin status changed back himself. What may be a reason for this? Thank you!

There is an admin email address in your config file (app.yml)

The setting is called

DISCOURSE_DEVELOPER_EMAILS:

That admin with that specific email address, will always have admin rights even if others try to remove it.
