Right now, a user who administers a group could be removed - without transferring ownership! This shouldn't be allowed.
Solution
We have a variety of options available:
1. Delete group, not just remove admin
If I'm an admin, delete the group - effectively removing everyone else from this group as well
Pros
Simpler to implement, and we could even add some small confirmation (i.e., "are you sure? Removing this group will mean removing everyone else from this group. If you'd like to avoid doing this, transfer ownership first")
Cons
Easier to implement, but also easier for the user to mess up - accidentally deleting all group information
which could be costly
Remarks
This question gets at the central problem - how do we allow an administrator to delete a group? Do we? This leads to the second Option:
2. Transfer ownership first, then remove me
If I'm an admin, transfer ownership to another user, then remove myself.
Pros
Cannot accidentally delete the group; allows simpler transfer and removal from a group
Cons
Harder to implement
How does the user actually delete the group?
