To make a group member an owner or moderator:

  1. Display the membership record of the member you want to make an owner or moderator.
  2. In the Role list, select the role you want to assign to that member, Moderator or Owner. When additional panels appear on the page, select the permissions and options you want to give to that person:

    • Note:
      • This panel appears only when the Moderator role is selected; owners have all permissions by default.
      • Regardless of their permission settings, moderators cannot change the roles or subscription settings of owners or remove owners from groups.

      The permissions you can select in the Moderator Permissions panel are:

      • Approve Pending Messages
      • Edit Archives
                This option also allows moderators to view poll results.
      • Invite Members
                This option does not appear in subgroups.
      • Add Members
                 This option appears only in subgroups.
      • Create or Modify Hashtags
      • Manage Subgroups
                This option does not appear in subgroups.
      • Add or Modify Integrations
      • Modify Group Settings
      • Manage Paid Subscriptions/Donations
      • Billing
      • View Member List
      • Approve Pending Members (also allows access to the member list)
      • Ban Members (also allows access to the member list)
      • Set Member Subscription Options (also allows access to the member list)
      • Set Moderator Privileges (also allows access to the member list and allows setting member subscription options)
      • Remove Members (also allows access to the member list)
    • For each item listed, you can select how the new owner or moderator should be notified about activity related to that item. The notification options are:

      • Email and web/app
      • Email only
      • Web/App only
      • None

      See Moderator notifications about group activity for more information.

    • Select an option for how the new moderator or owner will receive emails that are sent to the group’s owner email address (groupname+owner@groups.io):

      • All Emails
      • Members Only
      • None

      Be aware that all moderators and owners who have the All Emails setting or Members Only setting will receive email messages that are sent to the owner email address. If your group has several moderators, not all of them might need (or want) to receive owner emails. In that case, some of them could select the None option in their own subscription preferences. See Owner email setting.

  3. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click or tap the Save button.
