Take ownership of a game

So we've had a nice game running for a few months now, but unfortunately our GM and Game Creator has had to leave due to some real life obligations.  The game creator has changed my and another's status to 'GM' so that we can continue on with the game with us (most likely me) running the game moving forward.  This is great, but we need to add some more players, post when next games are, etc., which as I understand it can only be done by the original game creator.  Is there a way to actually re-assign game ownership so that the game can be totally managed by someone else, or are we better off trying to start another 'game' and porting what we can over to the new one?  (Seems a shame and a lot of work to do so...) Here's what I saw on a previous (closed) topic: The Game's Creator can hover over a Player's icon to manipulate the permissions for that Player . Promote to GM will grant that Player GM status in the Game, commonly called a co-GM . This is useful for jointly running a Game with someone else or if the Creator would like to become a Player in a Game they created. Promoting someone to GM may also be beneficial in helping another user with GM-level features and or solving Game issues. Promoted to GMs , have limited control over a Game : Cannot: Change the next game time display. Change the Game's description. Change the Game's settings options, such as the version of Character Sheet that is set, toggling public access, changing the background image, toggling character import, or list the game in Looking for Players. Delete the entire game. Kick or Remove Players . Clear the Chat Archive. A Co-GM will not have access to the original Game's Creator's image library, character journals, handouts, decks, rollable tables, and other games' pages, however those elements that are being used within the game are available to the Co-GM. Images that are being used within the games' pages can be manipulated by the Co-GM as long as they remain within the game editor. If the Co-GM removes any of these shared elements they will not be available unless the Game's Creator restores them to play. Can: Full access to all layer's. Create a new map page. Put pictures and tokens to the tabletop from their image library. Assign and edit tokens. Add handouts, new characters, assign journals. Move the Players ribbon to different maps. Play music from the jukebox. Read GM whispers. Make macros and token actions and show or hide them from players. Control dynamic lighting settings if the Game's Creator is a Pro or Plus subscriber.
Allowing complete transfer of a campaign has too many copyright issues to be allowed.
Gotcha...yea assumed that this was not something that was possible on Roll20.  May be easier to create a new game and carry over from where we were... Thanks...
Good luck!

Hey  Michael D. - Bummer about your GM. Unforutnately, ownership does stay with the original creator. Your list is accurate. Since we have answered your question I will close this thread. Best of luck!
