Apparently the original owner of this group has left. I am attempting to delete the group or leave the group but the system keeps telling me I had to appoint a new group owner. I do not have any admin permissions. What can I do?

I’m not sure. If you have any way of contacting the owner, to ask him or her what to do. Or what the plan is. I just created a group myself, and only have a few members. It is for my YouTube channel primarily, but it’s also, used to ask people or talk about assistive technology, accessible games for the blind and such.

It seems that you're the only owner left so you can't leave.? You'd need to delete it at the bottom of the settings page.? Go to the Home page of the group to see if there's an Owner badge next to the Home item on the left menu.? You can always go to the Admin > Members page, then select Moderators from the Members dropdown to see the status of any remaining.? If there are no other owners and you can't delete the group, you'll need to contact Support.

What actually happens, if The owner of the group does leave the group? Also, are you able to give someone else admin privileges, or can there be only one admin?

The last Owner is the group is not allowed to leave, by design. However, that doesn't mean the last Owner won't abandon the group or become incapacitated in some fashion and thus be unable to perform Owner functions. It is always a good idea to assign a trusted subscriber as a backup.

Also, are you able to give someone else admin privileges, or can there be only one admin?

You can have as many Owners and Moderators as you want; just open someone's user record and change the Role entry. Moderator privileges are highly configurable. See?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/14320?

I don't have access to the membership list to figure out how to give someone else moderator privileges. I'm not the owner of this group. I'm still listed as the moderator. My preference would be to have groups.io remove the list all together. I'm written to support and hope I hear from them soon.

Have you tried to contact the original Owner?
"They" are the best (easiest) way to resolve this -- IF they can be reached
and are willing to co-operate with you.

"They" could assign you as an "Owner", (Co-Owner actually),
---then delete themselves OR give you that "permission level" - to do it.

This is generally set up this way to prevent hostile takeovers of a Group.

I got a note from Mark and I've added some additional details. Essentially I asked him to either delete the group or remove me from it. I hope he has better luck than I've had. Since he wrote the programming for groups.io, he should be able to remove me or delete the group.
Judy

It's all moot now. Mark removed me from the group. He can't explain why I was getting that message, but I don't really care now that I finally got out of the group. Thank you all for trying to help get this resolved.

As someone else posted, you can have multiple owners.

Be careful about that, though. You could appoint an owner who could
demote you to moderator. It happened to me, but it was in a group I
set up for the other person anyway. We had a difference of opinion
about one member's posts being inappropriate and needing moderated and
the other owner felt the member didn't offend anyone and didn't need
moderation. I never felt it was my group and I was just there to help
get it set up and started and to help moderate. So my job was really
over at that point anyway.

I ended up leaving the group at a later time since I felt if I wasn't
trusted as a co-owner, I was not needed and would be better off
somewhere else. There was another moderator so I wasn't really
essential to the group's continuation.

Though no harm was done there, it could be a situation where some
other co-owner takes over the group.

I heard about that happening in a Yahoo group a long time ago. The
owner got tired of running things and asked for volunteers to take
over. The person who took the job of being owner got a power trip and
started making lots of rules.

Everyone went somewhere else and they started their own group. :-)
