How to give admin access to private repository when there is no role options

Question

In my GitHub private repo->settings->manage access. I can see collaborators but there is no role options next to them. How do I give them admin access?

Answer 1

It is impossible to do in a simple user account (public or private). You have admin access as the only owner. There is a different type of repository that could be useful in your case - an organization account. With it, you can grant admin rights to other members.
