Description

I checked the related issues list and nothing came up.

I have had some frustrated organization members:

I searched online and found the instructions for changing from "private" to "public" for organization visibility:

It helped him:

But this is too much to do for every single member of the group. Can I not make this setting the default for all members joining my organization? Or at least have it easy for them to quickly change the setting?

Research direction

The request concerns GitHub organization membership visibility, and this repository is a JavaScript wrapper around the GitHub API. Start by checking whether the GitHub API supports an organization-wide default or bulk update for this setting; done means identifying a supported implementation path or confirming that the behavior cannot be provided by this client.
