Allow another Group be assigned as Owner

[Heliosurge (Dan DeMontmorency)]

With the benefits of Category Moderators. In a category where you need to be a member of a group to participate. It would be beneficial if another group can be set as owner.

In this scenario a problem user could be ejected from a group by say the category moderator group. A list could be maybe maintained in the templates plugin if a ban from that group is permanent or not

Ideally an added feature maybe down the road would be to add a suspend option to group members similar to main site. This could have temp and perm options.

But ATM simply being able to have group A set as owner of group B would be awesome.

Hey Dan,

This is something I was looking at a while ago as well. I had a bit of trouble finding these topics in the search so I just went though my post history instead

Here are some similar topics

Members of one group appointing and removing members of another group

I am missing the feature to give members of one group the ability to appoint and remove members of another group. We want to trust a few members to manage the members of another group (but not make them moderators).

Allow users of an existing group to join this group freely

[image] Can we have an option which adds to the above? If(you are already in Group A) You can freely join this group Else You must send a membership request Use case is that we have external contractors. We want to give them access to Discourse. Currently they can freely join the same groups that our staff can join. This creates a confidentiality issue. If we make joining the group based on membership requests, then I will constantly get membership requests which I will automatical…

Creating subgroups

Is there already a feature for creating subgroups? I found a post here but it doesn’t provide the solution but mentions a plugin is feasible. My use case would be: Parent group: PythonUsers Child groups: Python-Specialists Python-Admin Python-Basic And here we can use @PythonUsers to notify all specialists, admin and basic users. But if I just want to request the input of just the python specialists I use the @PythonSpecialists group tag.

That is awesome! Imho this really needs to be bumped. Adding this feature we could more easily create an improved Reddit like multi community site.

Might be an idea to invite other users from those topics.

Maybe if we can drum up enough interest. We could pool resources to sponsor a plugin maybe to splice in this desirable functionality.
