Now that the barrier has lifted, how do I become an owner so that we may complete the transfer of our second group?

You should already be the owner of the GIO group that you're transferring into.? If not, get an owner to promote you. On YG, you only need to be a moderator with invite and promote privileges.

I know that. However, the owner is unable to get me registered as a member of the group let alone be appointed as an owner.
It's a private group. Neither she nor I am able to get me to the status of member. That's the point of the question!

Keep trying. I've just done a test and my Yahoo group functionality is working again. I can change roles and invite members. That was not working at all for the past two days. On the other hand, I don't see why you are complicating things and worrying about your Yahoo group owner getting you registered. Just have the Owner do the invite and make the [email protected]?member a moderator. ? -- Gerald

But you haven't said if it's on YG or GIO that you're having a problem. Duane -- Help: /static/helpGMF's Wiki: /g/GroupManagersForum/wikiSearch button at the top of Messages list A few site FAQs: /static/pricing#frequently-asked-questions

It's the Yahoo membership that has us stymied. An invite hasn't been possible since Yahoo insists that I am already a member. But when I try to do anything I am told I am not authorized . . . the stock answer to "You aren't a member." ??

We just tried again.
?
1. The group name was gray indicating I am not a member.
?
2. I was told that I didn't have permission to enter the group.
?
3. The owner was told that I am already a member.
?
Suggestions? I have thought about using another email address or asking her to try to delete me and then re-invite me.
?
On top of this, I'm having DSL problems that att says they can't fix until next Wed. Phooey. Some service.
?
At any rate, per 1, 2, and 3 above you can see why we are frustrated.

Eric -- Clearly, all this messing around trying to make yourself a co-owner is just spinning your wheels. Have the person? who is already an Owner?send an invitation to? [email protected], and subsequently upgrade it to Moderator when the invitation is accepted. There is no reason why you have to do it. Bruce

Even through I was a moderator, I seemed to not be able to grant moderator privileges to anyoe.
I had to request our group owner make me an owner.
After that was done, I could grant moderator privilege to the transfer member.

Caution the same id has to do all the parts of the transfer, you can¡¯t change what e-mail id is doing the work.

[Mod Note: This last statement is untrue...activities performed on the Yahoo group can be delegated. The transfer agent does not know who invited it or who upgraded it to Moderator, only that it occurred.]

In Yahoo there are settings for Mod privileges available only to
Owners. One is the privilege to make more Mods.
The ability of Mods to make Mods can be turned on or off.

I agree. Why
fiddle with this? Have the owner take care of the transfer,
inviting the Groups.io transfer to YahooGroups.
And the owner can upgrade you in Groups.io.
