SharePoint Security Group Owner
Juan M Baena AFAIK, using Powershell you can only change a Group owner but I am not sure if Powershell has any option to remove a Group owner without providing a replacement owner. Below is what happens if you do it through UI.
If a user is owner of 2 groups (Let's say Group A & B). Now if you remove that user from the Site collection user info list (https://extranet.opcw.org/_layouts/15/people.aspx?MembershipGroupId=0), then SharePoint will add you as the owner of the Group A & B. You need to be Site collection admin to try this out.
Try to configure Site collection Owner group as the group owner for all the groups instead of keeping a persons name?

Unnie thank you we need to do some testing on this scenario just thought to ask beforehand to get a better idea of what to expect.
