Changing group owners

Group owners can add or delete group owners, depending on the group’s properties. Bravura Security Fabric blocks requests to add multiple owners to a group if the target system only supports single-owner groups. When changing the owner of a single-owner group, you must delete the original owner at the same time as adding a new owner.

Ensure that you do not delete all owners of a group without adding a new owner. The Groups app does not allow non-owner users to add owners to groups. Depending on target system settings, groups without owners may no longer be managed by Bravura Security Fabric.
