Group Owners

Group owners can’t leave a group. A group must have someone to administer and take responsibility for it. In version 1.7.2 owners may be able to add another owner to a group and transfer group ownership. Owners have privileges to pin and unpin post in group and also can edit and delete offensive / harmful content.
