SharePoint and Office 365 Groups: Making a person a group/site owner

Information Technology Services strongly recommends that at least two people are set as owners of a group.  This way, if the primary group manager is unavailable, then others can add/remove members as needed.  The steps below are how to make an existing group member a group owner.

  1. Go to your group or SharePoint site in Office 365.
  2. Click on the member list at the top right
