Question: is it possible to have more than 1 group manager?

Hi Alan,

Great question! Technically there can only be one "manager" (i.e. the person who owns the group and has overall responsibility for it) but you can have as many administrators as you like. A group administrator has exactly the same permissions in the group as the manager - so anyone you make an administrator will be able to do everything you can in the groups you manage (including handling membership requests; and group administrators will be notified of requests to join using the in-site notification system too).

In order to do this you need to go to your group and click on the Group tab, then click on the "People" link to manage the people who are members of your group. You then need to tick the checkbox to the left of each person you want to be an administrator. Once you have done this select "Modify OG user roles" from the "Operations" drop down near the top of the page, and click Execute. You will then see a page where you can add and remove various roles from the people you have selected. Add the "administrator member" role by selecting it from the list, and click "Next". You will then need to confirm your choice, and after this the role will be added. You can then check in the group members table that the people you selected have gained the new role.

Please let me know if you need any help with this. I am aware this process is somewhat lengthy but we are going to re-architect this part of the site to make it much easier to use.
