If a group admin leaves
15 January 2013, 14:17
Hi,
I have had a look at the 1.5 user manual, but it doesn't really answer my question.
My question is:
A user (User A) creates a group (is the admin for that group of around 30 people) and also makes another user (User B) an admin. if User A leaves, or their account is deleted, does that group still exist and can User B still be the admin to that group?
I ask this, as we have some staff who want to set up a casual, ongoing group, that can have several admin and still exist if the original creator leaves or if their account is deleted.
We are running 1.5.4.
Thanks in advance,
Teresa

Hello Teresa,
A group can have as many admins as you want it to have. Thus, if one leaves, there are other admins available who can take over administrative tasks. A site administrator can also alwasy appoint group administrators, cf. http://manual.mahara.org/en/1.6/administration/groups.html#administer-groups

That is brilliant! Thanks for your clarification, Kristina.
I wasn't 100% certain if other Admins available would be able to take over administrative tasks if the original Admin left.
Cheers,
Teresa
