I had always thought that you couldn't promote yourself to a higher rank than you were at never mind promoting yourself to the leader position/owner of the FC.

You cannot promote to the very top, but if you have another rank below that (maybe for an alt to have all the permissions your main does like the op had, or for officers) and a lower rank has promote permissions, they can raise themselves up to any rank other than leader and gain the permissions of that rank.
