A Board of Directors is interested in setting up a group.
The original owner will wish to replace themselves next year with someone from the new Board.? Is this possible? If someone else is willing to be promoted to Owner, can the originator of the group then totally leave? The Help says: ? How Can I Delete My Account?We're sorry to see you go, but we will be happy to delete your account. Note that we will not be able to delete your account if you are the only owner of at least one group. If that's the case, you should either transfer ownership to someone else, or delete the group before requesting that your account be deleted. -- /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki /static/help More help: use the search button at the top of the Messages list. |
Frances, If someone else is willing to be promoted to Owner, can the originator of the group then totally leave? Yes. Owners are equal in every way, there's nothing special about the owner that happened to create the group. The key phrase in that help text is "only owner". As long as there's another owner in the group other owners can leave it. Shal -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |

I think what you want to do is UNSUBSCRIBE from the group, not DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT on Groups.io.

Deleting your account will remove you from every group you belong to AND also delete your account on Groups.io... unless you're the owner of any of the groups you subscribe to. Groups.io does not allow a group to become ownerless via unsubscription by the only Owner. If you really do want to delete your Groups.io account, you need to replace yourself as owner of any groups you own... after which you can delete your account.
