Hi all, at certain point during NC upgrades (running NC 10 → 31.0.9 ) we lost the possibility of transfer ownership of a team(old circles).

We certainly be able to do it in the past (we have even some youtube videos showing how to do it). We’re still able to do that transfer via OCC, but as in our organization we use intensively teams feature and we have hundreds of users, this is and uncomfortably option.

The Basics

  • Nextcloud Server version (e.g., 29.x.x):
    • 31.0.9
  • Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 24.04):
    • Debian 12
  • Web server and version (e.g, Apache 2.4.25):
    • Apache 2.4
  • Reverse proxy and version _(e.g. nginx 1.27.2)
    • none
  • PHP version (e.g, 8.3):
    • php 8,4
  • Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Yes / No):
    • yes
  • When did this problem seem to first start?
    • not sure
  • Installation method (e.g. AlO, NCP, Bare Metal/Archive, etc.)
    • Bare metal
  • Are you using CloudfIare, mod_security, or similar? (Yes / No)
    • NO

Steps to replicate it (hint: details matter!):

  1. Create team

  2. add members, manage role up to administrator

  3. No option to transfer ownership
