When a Local Group is created, it will be owned and managed by the Admin who creates the local group in their account (unless the Super Admin has assigned ownership to a specific Local Group Admin when creating the group).

Local Groups can be owned by either the Super Admin or by a Local Group Administrator. The Super Admin will be able to manage all local groups, regardless if they own the local group or not. Local Group Administrators can only manage the local groups they own within their own accounts, however, they will have the ability to impersonate other Local Group Administrators who own other local groups (you can find more information on this here: Viewing another Local Group Administrator's account).

You cannot transfer ownership of the Administrators Group. This group can only be managed by the Super Administrator.

You can find information on how to apply the Local Group Administrator role to an admin here: Adding & Removing Administrator Roles.
