Group permissions broken after transferring ownership

[Inkthirsty]

I am temporarily giving ownership of my group to a friend so he can make changes, but when I gave him ownership and he ranked me to admin, I have a ghost rank and I don’t know how to explain it. I basically cannot interact with the group at all it’s like I’m a ghost member. This is definitely a bug but I have no idea if it’s severe since my friend still has full control over the group but no matter what he does to my account I cannot do anything.

Expected behavior

I am supposed to be able to join games in studio and access the group configuration menu but I just can’t.

edit: I can change the name of a game but I cannot join it in studio

I’ve had some bugs with groups too. Sometimes the best thing to do is delete the role and create a new one.

Hello,

This issue pretty sure it’s the same I had one in the past

Game Stopping Bug - Unable to join studio due "409 Conflict"

I’m not sure if this is currently a major issue, but it might be worth considering adding a patch to prevent situations like mine, where I spent an entire day trying to understand why access wasn’t possible. Since group permissions are being deprecated, relying solely on the new roles without enabling team create will inevitably cause this issue. Thank you!

Current owner of place must enable team create in order to be able to join.

this is unrelated because the issue is the group perms, i was just using a game as an example of how i can change its name but i cant join studio on it

[Inkthirsty]

come to think of it i have 2 roles with the same name and i wonder if that is related. but when my friend had the role he tried to give me his perms worked fine

Thanks for the report! We’ll follow up when we have an update for you.

Hello @Inkthirsty , I see you are the community owner again. Does your admin role still have issues?

[Inkthirsty]

It’s fine now that my friend gave me the group back but it’s still weird

I see, it’s possible that your admin role may have some permissions issue. You can try verifying the permissions assigned to that role in the community’s role settings page, and if there is a permission that you believe is enabled but you are not able to perform the action you expect, try toggling it off and on again to update its state again. Is there a specific permission you’d like me to check on? Let me know if you are still running into issues with it!

Sometimes there is an issue that I have experienced as well, where when I change multiple permissions in a role at the same time, some of them don’t get saved. I would suggest they double-check in this case.
