Hi,

I co-own a group and sadly the other owner has passed away. Someone suitable has volunteered to be a moderator, and I would like to apppint them. How do I go about doing making them a moderator?

thanks
Sylvia

Sylvia,

How do I go about doing making them a moderator?

Find the person in the group's Members page, and click on their row (anywhere except the checkbox). That will open the member's subscription page.

The Role control is a drop-list, change it from Member to Moderator.

That will open up some new sections, including Moderator Permissions, Notifications, and Owner Email. Set those options as you feel is appropriate for this moderator's duties in your group. Then at the bottom of the page click the blue Save button.

I co-own a group and sadly the other owner has passed away.

It was very smart of that owner to have planned for this possibility.

At some point, maybe not now but before too long, you should consider promoting someone to the Owner role, so that there will once again be two or more owners for the group. It is the best way to ensure that the group survives whatever life throws your way.

Doing that is the same as promoting to Moderator, except that there won't be a Moderator Permissions section - Owners automatically have all permissions. That includes the ability to demote you - so be sure it is someone you trust in that role.

Hi Shal

Thank you so much, that was really, really helpful. The entire group is in mourning right now and I had no idea what to do regarding moderation. What you described is clear and straightforward.

I'm going to go ahead also with your suggestion about asking them to be co-owner also, it makes sense

Have a good day
Sylvia
