The ruby API shows an option to assign owner_usernames on create_group and update_group. The create_group seems to work (and the owner is there after the group is created) but it appears that owner_usernames are only assignable on create on the REST side of things. So we can’t promote a user to an existing group owner without the UI (at least with the Ruby API). Is this by design or is this worth a PR? Am I correct in assuming the Ruby side of things would need matching methods for groups#add_owners and groups#remove_owner?

The UI is using the API. Have you tried this? [תמונה] Reverse engineer the Discourse API Integrations Discourse is backed by a complete JSON api. Anything you can do on the site you can also do using the JSON api. The API is documented at docs.discourse.org. You can also use the discourse_api Ruby gem as a client library. However, not every endpoint is documented. To determine how to do something with the JSON API here are some steps you can follow. Example: recategorize a topic. Go to a topic and start editing a category: [image] Open Chrome dev tools, switch to the Network tab, select …

Thanks, Régis. I’m not seeing anything for ownership in discourse_api/lib/discourse_api/api/groups.rb at main · discourse/discourse_api · GitHub. I was just checking to make sure I wasn’t missing something. I can certainly just do a put request to the /admin/groups/:group_name/owners API endpoint directly without a method in the Ruby API.

Methods for adding and removing group owners now exist in the discourse_api gem. https://github.com/discourse/discourse_api/pull/239 @client.group_add_owners(41, { usernames: "48ce9df193c627574202" } ) @client.group_remove_owners(41, { usernames: "48ce9df193c627574202" } )

The API gem may have some gaps, if you find any feel free to plug them in with PRs.
