How to make an Owner or Manager change

Owners of groups have the ability to make Owner/Manager changes. They can do so by using the above instructions for adding or removing members, but choosing the Owner or Manager group instead of the Add/Remove group as appropriate.

Listserv

Email lists populated via Grouper will be processed every morning. This means any changes you make to list membership will not apply until the following day. Other aspects of group management are the same as other Grouper groups.
