I have left my position as owner of the group “Roblox Bloxxers United” the ownership to this user: Builder - Roblox. Upon transferring the group to the Intended user, It appeared as if the group was still owned by me, despite the correct user being transferred the group.
Afterwards, I proceeded to leave the group, registring it as “No one” while a user claimed ownership without realizing that it was a group already owned. However, the User who was transferred ownership continued to hold the group, as seen below. I believe this may be related to display names.
Are you able to make a consistent set up for this? I’m sure it would help Roblox greatly if you could reproduce this issue, and give us steps on how you did it.
I can confirm that this glitch is still active, and I need assistance with it - Time Only - Roblox
I can give more information regarding what’s happening on the backend and how to fix it (and other group permissions issues) if needed. In my case though a quick DB update to get me in the owner role again would be very appreciated… obviously, when Roblox is no longer down and things have settled.
The other developer can’t work now because he’s a member, and I can’t promote him because I have the admin rank and not owner. And we can’t touch the group funds that we need for advertising, link the group to the game, etc.
It’s been like that for weeks, I just decided to post about it now because I found this thread. We’re in the same situation as OP was except no one has the owner role anymore and I’m the only one ranked above a Member.
Actual Behavior (some of the time)
The user you select will receive ‘ownership’ of the group (in this case Avatar_Korra), but not the actual ‘Owner’ role.
How to fix
When the group owner is changed, ensure the new owner is given the ‘Owner’ or rank 255 role, as opposed to whatever role the previous owner had.
