Team memberships have somewhat limited permissions scopes to individually named repositories.  

If you want to set someone as an admin for the **entire organization**:


1. Navigate to the Organization > People

   [![org > people][1]][1]

2. Identify the member you want to update and click on the settings cog

   [![settings > change role][2]][2]

3. Set role to `Owner`

   [![Select Role][3]][3]

I need to [transfer a repository from a user account to an organization][1] the user is a member of. Per GitHUb's docs,  I need to make the user account an admin of the organization first.

GitHub's docs describe [the different levels of access to an organization][2], but I **can't find out how to actually change a user's level of access to an organisation**. 

How can I make the organization member an admin?
