Changing subgroup owner


Glenn Glazer
 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

The set up is this:

* I am the owner of the main group
* I am not the owner of a subgroup
* The owner of the subgroup is not very web savvy, would like to do this for them.
* The owner of the subgroup is no longer in the subcommittee the subgroup corresponds to.

How do I change the owner of the group to the new subcommittee chair (who is in the subgroup) so that I can remove the old one who is currently the sole owner and thus can't be removed?

Best,

Glenn

Technically, if you own the main group, you are, by default, owner of all subgroups.

How do I change the owner of the group to the new subcommittee chair (who is in the subgroup) so that I can remove the old one who is currently the sole owner and thus can't be removed?
Just edit the member record of the person you want to make the new owner and change their role to Owner. Then edit the one that is currently the owner and change their role to Member.

A ha! Many thanks. For some reason, I thought changing role would be an "action" like changing their color or their email preferences and thus directly accessible from the list.

Best,

Where do I find the screen that gives the option to give a subgroup member Owner or Moderator?

Go to the member list in the subgroup, open a member record there and change the Role:

This is all covered in the Owner's Manual.
