Issue/Question
How do I edit membership, transfer site ownership, or reference available membership roles within a Blackboard Organization?
Resolution
When managing members within Organization Tools, the org site Owner will be denoted at the top of the page. The site Owner is a site Leader by default, and maintains all privileges of the Leader role. Site Owners will not show up in the member list, as their membership cannot be modified using Organization Tools.
