Methods for adding and removing group owners now exist in the discourse\_api gem.

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse\_api/pull/239](https://github.com/discourse/discourse_api/pull/239)

```ruby
@client.group_add_owners(41, { usernames: "48ce9df193c627574202" } )
@client.group_remove_owners(41, { usernames: "48ce9df193c627574202" } )

```
