Transfer Group Ownership

AI Integration Quick Reference

// Transfer group ownership to another member
CometChat.transferGroupOwnership(
  guid: "GROUP_ID",
  uid: "NEW_OWNER_UID",
  onSuccess: (String message) => debugPrint("Ownership transferred: $message"),
  onError: (CometChatException e) => debugPrint("Error: ${e.message}"),
);

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

Transfer ownership of a group to another member. Only the current owner can do this, and since owners cannot leave their group, you must transfer ownership first if you want to leave. The group is represented by a Group object and the new owner by a User object. See Leave Group.
