*From the Organization Editor manual, "Members".*

Distinct from Roster above: **Members** is the list of *parent accounts* who are part of this
organization (e.g. team parents, booster club members), independent of whether their own student is
on the student roster.

Search by email in the **Search accounts by email…** box, click the match, then **Add member**.
Each member row has its own **Remove** link.

*Same search-and-click pattern as Roster and Leadership, scoped by account email instead of name.*

*The account now appears as an organization Member.*

**About membership mode:** when a School Admin creates an organization, they choose whether it's
**Admin-managed** (the default — a School Admin or Editor adds Members one at a time, the way
described above) or **Self Sign-Up** (anyone at the school can join themselves). This choice is made
once at creation and can never be changed afterward, by anyone, including you. It's not shown as a
label anywhere on the page, but if your organization is Self Sign-Up and your own account isn't a
Member yet, you'll see a blue "This organization is open for anyone to join" banner with a **Join
this Organization** button near the top of the page — the same banner any parent at your school
would see. That's a general self-join feature, not something specific to your Editor role.
