SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Office Groove 2007, in Groove Virtual Office, and in Groove Workspace, no one can perform the actions that are restricted to the role of manager when the only manager of a workspace leaves the workspace. Additionally, because only a manager can change a member's role, no one can be assigned the role of manager.



WORKAROUND
If a workspace does not have a manager, follow these steps to create a copy of the workspace with you as a manager:
 * 1) In the Workspaces list, right-click the workspace name, and then click Duplicate Workspace or Duplicate Shared Space depending on the version of Groove that you are using.

Note This creates a duplicate workspace that is named &quot;Copy of .&quot; You will be the only member of the duplicate workspace. Additionally, you will have the role of manager.
 * 1) Invite the members of the original workspace to the new workspace. To prevent this problem from occurring again, invite at least one other member as a manager.
 * 2) Instruct all workspace members to delete their copy of the original workspace as soon as they receive the new workspace.
 * 3) After all members have deleted the original workspace, you may rename the new version of the workspace by using the name of the original workspace.



MORE INFORMATION
Notes
 * You cannot duplicate a Mobile Workspace for SharePoint.
 * If you are not sure whether a workspace is the original or a copy, examine the creation information for the workspace. To do this in Groove Virtual Office, right-click the workspace, click Properties, and then examine the values for Created by and Created on fields. To examine the creation information in Groove Workspace, right-click the workspace, click Shared space properties, and then examine the values for Created by and Created on fields.
