# IPolicyRegistry.pendingPolicyAdmin

> Returns the staged pending admin for a policy, or address(0) if no transfer is in flight.

## Signature

```solidity IPolicyRegistry.sol theme={null}
function pendingPolicyAdmin(uint64 policyId) external view returns (address);
```

| Field | Value |
| - | - |
| Selector | `0x017548b7` |
| Canonical signature | `pendingPolicyAdmin(uint64)` |

## Description

Returns the currently-staged pending admin for `policyId`, or `address(0)` when no transfer is in flight or for built-in sentinels, unknown IDs, and malformed IDs. Never reverts.

The pending admin is set by `stageUpdateAdmin(policyId, newAdmin)` and cleared when `finalizeUpdateAdmin(policyId)` succeeds or when the current admin calls `stageUpdateAdmin` with `address(0)`. Until `finalizeUpdateAdmin` is called, `policyAdmin` still returns the current admin, the pending admin has no privileges yet.

## Parameters

| - | - | - |
| `policyId` | `uint64` | Policy to query. |

## Returns

| Type | Description |
| - | - |
| `address` | Staged pending admin, or `address(0)` if none is set. |

## Reverts

Never reverts.
