While messing with the owner controls of a group of mine, I noticed a few odd bugs which pose some issues.
In the ‘Roles’ tab of the admin page of a group, you can delete a group role, though normally, you should be able to delete up to 2 remaining roles, one being the Owner. However, you can delete every role there is (except for owner) if you can manage to click the delete button to each before the page refreshes.
Once the owner role is the only role remaining, if a user decides to join the group, they’re automatically placed in the same role as the owner. The actual owner of the group can no longer exile the user. The user also has all admin group privileges, which due to the owner rank is irreversible. The owner really has no control at this point, and the interesting part is that the users in the owner rank have the ability to delete comments on the wall, even if the user is the same rank, as long as the comment was posted before their rank was increased.
You still have authority over some group functions such as the description, though that and a few other things is about it.
Unfortunately, say you wanted to add another owner after having 100 or so members in a rank you added after adding owners. You would have to remove those members in order to add owners once again.
I wouldn’t necessarily see this as a bad thing – it could even be turned into a feature. It would be cool to see some multi-owned groups pop up.
[strike] My only question is this: if one of those other owners, or even the original owner, tries to change ownership of the group after more ranks are added back, what happens? Does it remove all the current owners, or just the one that tried to change ownership? Does it even work?[/strike]
I don’t know if ROBLOX did a quick fix, but I’m not able to change the description (the save button is clickable, but it doesn’t update the description), it won’t let me change owners, and it won’t let me change roleset permissions.

I agree that it isn’t necessarily a bad thing, though if it became an actual feature, it wouldn’t lock you out of certain aspects such like this bug does.
