Key Points:
User Control Over Privacy: GitHub places the control of email visibility settings firmly in the hands of the individual user. This means that only the user can change their email visibility from private to public from their personal account settings.

Organization's Limitation: As an organization administrator, you cannot change the visibility of a member's email address for them. This ensures that users maintain control over their personal information and privacy settings.

Suggested Steps:
Inform the Member: If it's necessary for organizational purposes that the member's email is visible, you would need to request that they change their setting manually. You can guide them to the correct page:

They should go to their GitHub profile settings by clicking on their profile picture at the top right, then selecting "Settings."
Navigate to "Emails" from the sidebar.
In the "Emails" section, they can adjust the visibility of their email address.
