The create_group seems to work (and the owner is there after the group is created) but it appears that owner_usernames are only assignable on create on the REST side of things . So we can’t promote a user to an existing group owner without the UI (at least with the Ruby API).
Is this by design or is this worth a PR? Am I correct in assuming the Ruby side of things would need matching methods for groups#add_owners and groups#remove_owner?

I was just checking to make sure I wasn’t missing something. I can certainly just do a put request to the /admin/groups/:group_name/owners API endpoint directly without a method in the Ruby API.
