Description
Currently, the documentation at http://doc.crates.io/crates-io.html says to login again. This may be needed, but when adding a team within an org as crate owner the user must also go to https://github.com/settings/applications and for crates.io, and ensure they have granted organization access to the org containing the team.
(I think for older orgs granting this access might've been the default? But newer orgs need the user to explicitly grant it.)
thanks to @carols10cents for help getting this working for me.

Research direction
Start with the crates.io documentation at http://doc.crates.io/crates-io.html and compare its login guidance with the GitHub application settings at https://github.com/settings/applications. Update the guidance so users adding an organization team as a crate owner know to grant crates.io access to that organization, then verify the documented steps are complete.
