Meraki Stacking (4x MS350-48KP) - Can roles be changed?

Hey,

 

I was wondering if it is possible to change which switch that will serve the role as a Master (Active)?

For now I have followed the guide how to set up a stack and it seems like I have done it correctly :).

https://documentation.meraki.com/MS/Stacking/Switch_Stacks 

 

As you can see below, the 4th switch now serves the role as: Active (I believe that means master?).

Is it somehow possible to change that to the first one or is this just how it is and being set by the lowest MAC-Address?

What does this actually mean for my configuration as I haven't been able to locate the tech docs explaining what the different Role types actually does or is this basically the same as a Master in Cisco classic?

nop, the switch with the lowest MAC address takes master role.

I am not a Cisco Meraki employee. My suggestions are based on documentation of Meraki best practices and day-to-day experience.
