# Change GitHub org member's role

Automatically change GitHub org member's role on github.com. Change a GitHub organization member's role between member and owner. Identify the member by their GitHub username (accepted members only; a pending invitation has no role to change). Returns GitHub's confirmation message. Fails clearly when the member is not in the organization, when the member is the organization's last owner, or when GitHub asks the signed-in owner to confirm access first.
