It seams it’s not possible to modify the multisig key participants.
I have the following use case: For ASA `manager` address I would like to have a multisig key which we can modify.
Here is one idea how to do it:
1. Create the initial multisig: `acc_ms1`
2. Create a normal account (single public-private key): `acc_1`
3. Create ASA and set `manager` address to `acc_1` address.
4. Rekey `acc_1` to `acc_ms1`.
Later, when we need to update the participants of the multisig, we:
1. create a new multisig: `acc_ms2`
2. Rekey `acc_1` to `acc_ms2`. Note for the readers: it will still require a valid `acc_ms1` signature for that operation.
### Question
Is there a better way to do it? What would you recommend?

Yes, that looks like the proper process to rotate the `auth-addr` of `acc_1` from `acc_ms1` to `acc_ms2`. What have you attempted and where is it failing?

Oh, I forgot to add the question. I’ve updated the post.

The better way to do it is to wait till MyAlgo releases its upcoming ASA Manager where you will be able to create the ASA directly in MyAlgo with a multisig account and have everyone sign the transaction in an intuitive way.

Why do you first use `acc_1` as manager instead of `acc_ms1`?

To keep the same address, and use rekey to change the signature keys.

I might have misunderstood the use case, but I am not sure why you don’t directly set the manager address to `acc_ms1`.
Then you can still rekey `acc_ms1` to `acc_ms2`.
And then `acc_ms2` to `acc_ms3` and so on.

Note that for the specific case of ASA manager, instead of rekeying, you can just update the address of the manager: [Algorand Developer Docs](https://developer.algorand.org/docs/features/asa/#modifying-an-asset)

This sounds good. I didn’t know you can rekey multisig.

I know, but I wanted to keep the same address.

You can actually rekey any account, including smart contract account.
