Hi @wurzelmuepf

Collectives are collectively owned. Hence the name. You should be able to add the user to the collective, make them admin and then leave the collective.

Let me know where you’re getting stuck in the process so we can make this more obvious.

Hi, (website lost my first try to answer)

It doesn’t work.

  1. i gave my second account admina-rights

    1. i got out a collective from my “origin”-account
    2. a few seconds later the collective is back and the origin-user is still there.

  2. I as the second user removed the origin-user from a collective

    1. message: could not be removed.

Regards, wm

@wurzelmuepf I just tried and indeed there is a bug with leaving a Collective as the person who created it. Thanks for bringing this up. The bug is in the Teams app (internal app ID circles). I reported it at Unable to leave a team as owner · Issue #2282 · nextcloud/circles · GitHub
