# Change Asana team member's role

Automatically change Asana team member's role on asana.com. Change a team member's role (Team admin / Member), identified by email, via Team Settings > Members > role dropdown. Fails loudly if the target role is disabled for that member (e.g. Asana blocks guests from outside the org's domain from becoming Team admin). Requires login and team-admin permission. Returns the role before and after the change.

## Run it

```bash
npx @reduck-ai/cli@latest run --script reduck/asana.com/change_role
