Answer 1

this is something an owner must do, or a moderator with those priviledges:

Answer 2

Here’s how to promote one of your members to moderator status:

From the list on the left, click Members and locate the member on the Members page.

Click Edit Membership.

A little way down, click Change to Moderator.

Click on the Make Moderator button to confirm.

The moderator you appoint will have basic privileges in the group features you've made available, including Files, Calendar, Polls, Database, and Links. In these areas, the new moderator will be able to add, edit, and delete items, including items submitted by other members.

You also have the option of assigning them advanced moderator privileges for the Messages, Members, and Settings areas.

If you’re the list owner or a moderator with the ability to add, remove, and change moderator privileges, then you can assign additional privileges to one of your co-moderators.

To assign moderator privileges, locate and click the member's email address in the Moderators section. The Moderator Privileges form is located below the Member profile. You can set the following options:

Approve pending messages and photos

Gives the moderator the right to approve pending messages and photos.

Approve pending members

Gives the moderator the right to approve pending membership requests.

Invite and add members

Gives the moderator the right to invite people to the group.

Remove members and reset bouncing members

Gives the moderator the ability to unsubscribe members and to reset bouncing members.

Ban members

Gives the moderator the right to ban members from the group.

Add, remove, and change moderator privileges

Gives the moderator to make members moderators or to change the privileges of existing moderators.

Note: A very important power that should be granted only to people you trust.

Set auto-send options for files

Gives the moderator the power to send automatic messages to the group (like the welcome message).

Change group settings

Gives the moderator the power to change settings for the group. Another very important power that should be granted carefully.

Delete this group

Gives the moderator the power to permanently delete the group. Since this can only be reversed by Yahoo! Customer Support (and only within 30 days of a deletion), another power that should be granted very carefully.

To remove all moderator privileges, click Remove Moderator. This reverts the member to a regular subscription.

For additional info please read the following:

How do I remove myself as a group moderator/owner? How do I make somebody else the group owner?

If you’re the group owner, you must first appoint another owner before you can leave the group. This policy is enforced so that groups are not left without an owner.

To make another member the group owner:

Go to the Members area of your group

Click the Edit Membership link next to the member you want to promote.

Click the Change to Owner link.

Confirm your change by clicking the Make Owner button.

If you wish, you can leave the group at this time.

If you choose not to transition your group to another owner, you may delete the group entirely.
