Description
Description
If the last owner of a channel has been locked, there is no way to create a new owner for that channel.
Steps to reproduce
- Create a mew private group being logged in with user X
- Logout and login with an Admin user
- Try to add a new owner without using the login of user X
Environment
RC: 0.71.1
Platform: linux
Architektur: x64
Node-Version: v8.11.4
Background
When someone leaves a project, a group, a company, whatever (and his Rocket.chat user is deleted or disabled), the administrator needs the authority to assign a new owner for the groups and channels, whose last owner is not available anymore.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the locked-last-owner scenario described for RC 0.71.1 on Linux, using the listed steps and an administrator account. Trace the group ownership and administrator authorization flow; done means an administrator can assign a new owner when the last existing owner is locked or unavailable.
