Transfer Group Ownership

Transfer ownership of a CometChat group to another member using the JavaScript SDK.

AI Integration Quick Reference

// Transfer group ownership
await CometChat.transferGroupOwnership("GUID", "NEW_OWNER_UID");

Note: Only the current group owner can transfer ownership. The owner must transfer ownership before leaving the group.

Only the owner of a Group can transfer ownership. Since owners cannot leave their group, you must transfer ownership first if you want to leave.

Use transferGroupOwnership() to transfer ownership to another member.

Transfer Ownership

let GUID = "GUID";
let UID = "UID";
CometChat.transferGroupOwnership(GUID, UID).then(
  () => {
      console.log("Successfully transferred ownership of the group.");
  }, error => {
      console.log("Could not transfer ownership of the group: ", error);
  }
)

TypeScript

let GUID: string = "GUID";
let UID: string = "UID";
CometChat.transferGroupOwnership(GUID, UID).then(
  (ownershipTransferred: string) => {
      console.log("Successfully transferred ownership of the group.");
  }, error => {
      console.log("Could not transfer ownership of the group: ", error);
  }
);

On success, the method resolves with a success message string confirming the operation.
