Hi, as an admin, when I create a group, I am by default a member of this group.  
But if do not want to remain a member I can remove myself as an admin from this group.  
But what happens if I wish users to request to be a member of this group since it has now no owner, to who the request will be sent?

Other question: can the “system” user be a group owner?

Thanks
