VKontakte groups today are quite popular, they are visited by thousands of people, and the communities themselves belong to someone. Property rights of ownership and, consequently, disposal of groups arise. In this regard, many questions arise related to the rights of owners: what rights the owner has. Many people want to know how to transfer the rights of the owner of a VK group in order to complete a transaction . From the article you will learn how to add a new or remove an existing manager?

We will answer these and other questions today in our article.

Community leaders and their rights

So, first, let's talk about the hierarchy of authority levels in order to have a complete understanding of who the owner is and what rights he has.

Below are all the positions, in descending order:

• Owner;
• Administrator;
• Editor;
• Moderator.

The group owner is a person (by default the creator) who has a full arsenal of capabilities. In the future, this position can be transferred to anyone.

Peculiarities:

• No one can kick you out;
• Can transfer its rights to another person;
• Can change the type of community (group or public page);
• It has all the capabilities that admins, editors and moderators have.

Administrator is the second most important position. He has all the rights, with the exception of the above listed features, which are inherent only to the owners.

In more detail, the administrator can:

• Appoint and remove other managers (except the creator);
• Edit the name and URL of the public;
• Edit description and other information;
• Edit blocks (discussions, products, photos, links, contacts);
• Assign a contact person in the “Products” section;
• Customize comments;
• Send messages to users on behalf of the community;
• Change, add or remove cover;
• Create events and meetings on behalf of the group;
• Use CallBackAPI;
• Set up export to twitter and RSS import;
• Install and configure applications;
• Broadcast live;
• Submit an application to be included in the list of popular publics;
• Work with money transfers;
• Has the rights of editors and moderators.

The editor is the person primarily responsible for the group's content and statistics. He also has some limited powers in the design of the public and has all the rights that a moderator has.

Editors can:

• Add and delete posts and comments on behalf of the community;
• Create advertising;
• Approve and reject proposed news;
• Pin a post;
• Add or change thumbnail, avatar and status;
• Add and edit wiki pages;
• Add, edit and delete photo albums, photos, video and audio files;
• Upload, edit and delete documents;
• Create, edit and delete discussion topics and comments in them;
• View public statistics;
• Change access to statistics;
• Has moderator rights.

Moderators are people who monitor order and adherence to group rules. In particular in chats, comments, discussions, etc.

The moderator can:

• Approve applications for joining closed/private publics;
• Exclude members from the community;
• Delete comments under posts and in discussions left by users;
• Blacklist users;
• Delete photos, videos and audio files uploaded by participants;
• Delete discussion topics created by participants.

Important! The moderator cannot delete all of the above if it was published or added by other managers.

It is not for nothing that we touched upon all types of leaders and their rights. Now you have a complete view of the hierarchy in publics. All of the above capabilities are available to the owner of any community.

Below we will talk in more detail separately about those privileges that are unique to owners. We’ll also look at how to add/edit/delete a new public guide.

Why do VKontakte group owners change?

It is important to remember that a group can only have one owner. By default, this becomes the person who created the public. But at any time he can transfer these rights to another. He, in turn, can also pass them on to the next one.

A change of ownership may be affected by various circumstances. Let's find out what is most often the reason.

Sometimes, for one reason or another, it becomes necessary to delete an account and, so that the community does not disappear, the owner’s rights are transferred to another person.

It also sometimes happens that for one reason or another the owner ceases to be interested in the development of the group. He can transfer the rights to someone else who will do it.

But most often the rights are simply sold. Since well-developed publics today are an excellent way to make money. The VKontakte administration itself prohibits carrying out any trading operations with rights.

If the VK administration suspects that the community has become an object of purchase and sale, then they can ban it for an unlimited period.

Most often this happens due to a change in topic, which is unacceptable by the site rules. Here's what's written about it:

It is also worth noting some restrictions under which you will not be able to transfer rights:

• You are not the owner;
• There are more than 100,000 people in the group;
• Less than 14 days have passed since the last change of ownership;
• There are signs that the owner's account has been hacked.

Transfer conditions

To make another person the owner of a VK group, certain conditions must be met. You must be the creator of the public and also:

1. there are less than 100,000 subscribers to the public community;
2. previous changes occurred more than 2 weeks ago;
3. there are no signs of a change in profile owner.

Maybe some requirements cannot be met or you have an individual case. Then you need to try writing to the support site asking for help making changes. But, if all the points are met, then you can transfer control of the VKontakte group to another person.

How to transfer owner rights?

This process is not quite complicated. In just a couple of clicks you will cope with this task. Below are step-by-step instructions:

1. Go to "Community Management".

The essence of special powers

Before we figure out how to transfer the rights of the owner of a VK group, let’s consider what prerogatives they give:

• full management of topics, direction, setting up access, publishing content;
• transfer to the “public page” category and back;
• obtaining additional opportunities, implementing sanctions and punishments through the site’s Technical Support (the service communicates mainly through it);
• other moderators do not have the right to change it.

But he can independently give up ownership of the public, deciding to transfer the VKontakte community to another person.

How to appoint a manager?

We also decided to tell you in detail how to appoint a new manager:

2. On the right, select the “Participants” section.
3. A complete list appears in front of you. Under each name there is a button “Appoint as manager”. Click it.

1. In the window that appears, select a position.

1. Click "Assign".

Ready! Now your group has a new leader.

Possible difficulties

When thinking about how to change the owner of a group in a contact, you should not forget about the possible problems that such an action could entail.

• The social network has stated in its rules that the site does not approve of trading operations with communities. And, if the transaction is unsuccessful, then support will not help with eliminating the problems that have arisen;
• Difficulties may also arise if the topic of the public is radically changed after the appearance of a new admin. For this, the social network can ban the community, since it involves deceiving subscribers.

Is it possible to transfer a VK group to another person without the consent of the current admin? Definitely not. This opportunity is provided only to the holder of community creator rights.

How to hide/show managers?
