Share "Ownership" of a Realm with another player

Have an option to give shared ownership of a realm to another player/account.  This account would be able to extend the realm, restore from backup, download, etc. the same as the original owner.  If this isn't possible at least having the option of shared management (backups, downloading copies) would be helpful so all of the management isn't restricted to one person/account.

    You should be able to co own worlds with your friends, like the original creator can give you permission to go on when ever you want, because it’s annoying that my friends aren’t on and I’m trying to play but I can’t because it is not my world.

    I agree with sharing ownership of a realm, such that the other person can change settings in the realm as well as the above thoughts. I currently play with my brother, his kids, and a few of my friends in a realm. He puts it on peaceful with the kids are playing, but then leaves it on when he gets off. I then cannot put it back onto any other type of play when he is not on. 

    Example why this is frustrating:
    I am building a slime farm near bedrock, I cannot farm slimes if it is in peaceful and that was one of the things I planned on doing that day was farming slimes for a few hours.

    mikeleightongodd, the owner of the realm can still make you an operator with /op to use commands and set some settings.

    The big miss here is that you can’t share the ability to download a realm. If the owner gets hit by a bus, or just decides to stop paying for Minecraft, that realm is done for. Even if the realm owner was fine with sharing download/owner-level access with another person.

    This really needs to be a thing. I want my son to have the ability to switch worlds with his friends whenever we wants but we can't do that now because I have to be the one that makes all those changes. Really devalues the whole concept for me and makes me question if realms if even worth paying for

    You should be able to transfer ownership of a realm to another player, so that if you are unable to afford the price of the realm, another person are given the realm ownership so that they can pay for it instead.

    I totally agree, I've put more time into my friends realm and sometimes he has trouble paying for it. I have no way to pay it for him and I'll lose everything if he can't afford it. He'd love to give it to me should this happen, please make this an option. Also being able to pay it for the realm sometimes or gift skins and texture packs, Mashup for the realm would be great too.

    @mrsnowpilot, I have given op to my other account and they cannot do anything, they cant even change the mode to peaceful on a no cheats world, this is annoying because its no different from member.

    I started with Minecraft on a Playstation and now I use my computer. My husband still wants to use the Playstation, but he first needs a Microsoft account to go along with his Playstation account? He definitely does not have a MS account. Is that what I need to do, and if so, can you provide a link?

    I would like to transfer ownership of the realm to a player who is more involved in the realm.  It looks like this is not possible now.  And I agree with another commenter - what if I got hit by a bus or something?  Co-ownership or ownership transfer is needed for these reasons.

    I agreed to shared ownership would be the way to go. I play with my children and grandchildren and we all work on different projects, but I can't always drop what I am doing to hop on to change difficulty settings etc. Because of this I now rent a hosted server , which has it's own challenges such as saving a copy of the world.
