An anomalous ownership status flag

 

I thought I would solicit thoughts here before posting to beta or support
...

I have Mod status in the main group of a premium group. I am also a member
of a subgroup but in the subgroup membership list there is (as expected) no
flag against me. However, in that subgroup, on the left in the web
interface I see the flag "Owner" up at top against the Home link. Looking
around, I do indeed seem to have owner capabilities in that subgroup.


This may just be a database discrepancy that Mark could fix but if anyone
has any idea how this might have come about I'd be pleased to hear!

In a different group (legacy free with subgroups) I have a subgroup which I
am not a member of and when I view that subgroup, against Home I have the
flag "Parent owner". I cannot though see how being a "Parent moderator"
would show up as an "Owner" flag in a subgroup.


best, Malcolm.

I may have cracked it but I will wait overnight before reporting it to
beta as a bug/inconsistency.

This premium group to which I am a 'main' moderator (with all permissions
granted) has several subgroups. One I am a member of and against Home I
have the flag "Owner" but in the other subgroups where I am not a member
that flag is "Parent owner".

Something for Mark to sort out I think but as i said, I'll give you folks
overnight to comment before I send it to beta.

best, Malcolm.

This is quite normal. If your main group settings (Admin > Settings > Features (panel) ) allow you to create a subgroup then you will see the blue Owner badge in the group you created:

am not a member of and when I view that subgroup, against Home I have the

Again, this is normal. If you are the Owner of a group, you have owner permissions on all subgroups regardless of whether you have created them or not.? If a member or Moderator of your main group creates a new subgroup then you will show as a Parent Owner:

Sorry but I cannot offer any beneficial information.? The technicalities of the subject are beyond my comprehension.
