QUESTION: 1
Which features are commonly found in a user's public GitHub user profile?
Option A :
wiki contributions, organization memberships, and follower count
Option B :
private repositories, project boards, and code snippets
Option C :
metadata, achievements, profile readme, repositories, pinned repositories, and stars
Option D :
comment history, project forks, and file downloads
Correct Answer: C
Explanation/Reference:
A user's GitHub profile includes metadata (user information), achievements, profile readme, repositories, pinned repositories,
and stars. These features provide a comprehensive overview of a user's GitHub activity, contributions, and projects.
*******************
WRONG ANSWERS:
• comment history, project forks, and file downloads are not typically featured in the user profile; they relate to specific
repositories or project details
• private repositories, project boards, and code snippets are aspects of GitHub but are not directly part of the user profile
• wiki contributions, organization memberships, and follower count are relevant but are not primary features displayed in the
user profile

QUESTION: 2
Your new team member has been assigned to help you manage the code base for the new release of the
stock trading application within your organization. You are unsure how you were provided access to the
code repository but would like to help your colleague get the appropriate access. What is the best
approach?
Option A :
add your new team member directly to the GitHub repository
Option B :
instruct your colleague to contact GitHub support for access
Option C :
reach out to the organization owner to view which teams have access to the repository and then have
that owner or a team maintainer add your colleague to the appropriate team
Option D :
reach out to the organization moderator to view which teams have access to the repository and then have
them add your collegue to the appropriate team
Correct Answer: C
To perform any actions on GitHub a person must have sufficient access to the relevant account or resource. This access is
controlled by permissions. A permission is the ability to perform a specific action. A role is a set of permissions you can assign
to individuals or teams. Teams allow you to manage access for people in an organization. People with owner or team
maintainer permissions can add organization members to teams to assign them their appropriate roles.
****************
WRONG ANSWERS:
• People with admin access to a repository can manage access to the repository, so while it may be possible to provide your
team member access directly to the repository it is unclear if you have access to do so. In addition, adding a user directly
without understanding the access process may lead to inappropriate permissions and security risks.
• While GitHub support can assist with certain issues, access to specific repositories is typically managed by repository owners
or administrators. Relying solely on GitHub support may not be the most efficient approach for repository access.
• Organization moderators have access to block and unblock non-member contributors, set interaction limits, and hide
comments in public repositories owned by the organization but they do not have access to assign members to teams.

QUESTION: 3
As a project manager overseeing a GitHub repository, you want to assess community engagement, track key
metrics, and pull useful data. How might GitHub repository insights help you?
Option A :
repository insights allow you to track all open tasks and issues
Option B :
repository insights highlight secret and code scanning alerts
Option C :
repository insights graph activity and contributor engagement of your project
Option D :
repository insights provides contributors email addresses for you to contact them directly
Correct Answer: C
GitHub repository insights and the respective repository's graphs give you information on traffic, projects that depend on the
repository, contributors and commits to the repository, and a repository's forks and network. You can use this data to get a
better understanding of who's using your repository and why they're using it.
****************
WRONG ANSWERS:
• Secret and code scanning alerts pertains to security features rather than analytics and insights related to repository activity
and engagement. Therefore these are managed and visible on the Security tab within GitHub.
• GitHub Repository does show contributor activity, but does not expose individual contributors' email addresses because of
user privacy and security.
• GitHub Issues are used to track ideas, feedback, tasks, or bugs for work on GitHub. While GitHub repository insights provide
a summarized view of activity of issues (issues closed, issues opened, etc.) issue tracking is not part of GitHub insights, but
rather can be found on the GitHub Issues tab.

Amir is a developer working on a complex coding project and recently started using GitHub Copilot to assist
with code suggestions. How can GitHub Copilot enhance Amir's coding experience and workflow?
Option A :
GitHub Copilot allows real-time collaboration with Amir's team members, facilitating simultaneous code
editing
Option B :
GitHub Copilot provides code reviews and suggests improvements in Amir's existing codebase
Option C :
GitHub Copilot can automatically generate and complete entire code files based on input from Amir
Option D :
GitHub Copilot is specifically designed for managing and organizing Amir's project tasks on GitHub
Correct Answer: C
GitHub Copilot is an AI pair programmer that offers autocomplete-style suggestions as you code. You can receive suggestions
from GitHub Copilot by writing the code you want to use or by writing a natural language comment describing what you want
the code to do. GitHub Copilot analyzes the context in the file you are editing, as well as related files, and offers suggestions
from within your text editor.
*******************
WRONG ANSWERS:
• Real-time collaboration with team members is not a primary feature of GitHub Copilot. It is more focused on code generation.
• GitHub Copilot is not specifically designed for managing and organizing project tasks; its main functionality is code
completion and generation.
• While GitHub Copilot aids in code generation, it is not designed for code reviews or suggesting improvements in the existing
codebase.

QUESTION: 5
After passing the GitHub Foundations exam, Kyle is curious about upcoming features on GitHub and wants to
explore new functionalities before they are officially released. What feature should he use to access and test
these upcoming capabilities?
Option A :
GitHub Actions
Option B :
GitHub Sponsors
Option C :
GitHub Feature Previews
Option D :
GitHub Discussions
Correct Answer: C
Feature Previews allow users like Kyle to access and test upcoming GitHub functionalities before they are officially released.
Enabling feature previews provides a preview of the latest enhancements and features that GitHub is actively developing.
These features are released in Alpha, Beta, and then finally go GA.
********************
WRONG ANSWERS:
• GitHub Actions is a service for automating workflows, such as continuous integration and deployment, and is not explicitly
related to previewing upcoming GitHub features.
• GitHub Sponsors is a program for supporting open-source developers financially and is not related to accessing feature
previews.
• GitHub Discussions is a feature for community discussions within a repository but is not focused explicitly on previewing
upcoming features; it's more centered around communication and collaboration.

QUESTION: 6
What are helpful topics to include to classify a GitHub repository? (select three)
Option A :
language
Option B :
license
Option C :
subject area
Option D :
repository's intended purpose
Correct Answer: A,C,D
GitHub topics all you to explore repositories in a particular subject area, find projects to contribute to, and discover new
solutions to a specific problem. Helpful topics to classify a repository include the repository's intended purpose, subject area,
community, or language. Additionally, GitHub analyzes public repository content and generates suggested topics that
repository admins can accept or reject. Private repository content is not analyzed and does not receive topic suggestions.
********************
WRONG ANSWER:
• GitHub topics don't typically include license information. Most people place their license text in a file named LICENSE.txt (or
LICENSE.md or LICENSE.rst) in the root of the repository

QUESTION: 7
When using GitHub Actions, what is the proper order of operations when a pull request is opened?
Option A :
Action ➞ Steps ➞ Job ➞ Workflow ➞ Event
Option B :
Event ➞ Workflow ➞ Job ➞ Steps ➞ Action
Option C :
Action ➞ Steps ➞ Workflow ➞ Event ➞ Job
Option D :
Workflow ➞ Event ➞ Steps ➞ Job ➞ Action
Correct Answer: B
You can configure a GitHub Actions workflow to be triggered when an event occurs in your repository, such as a pull request
being opened or an issue being created. Your workflow contains one or more jobs which can run in sequential order or in
parallel. Each job will run inside its own virtual machine runner, or inside a container, and has one or more steps that either run
a script that you define or run an action, which is a reusable extension that can simplify your workflow.
********************
WRONG ANSWERS:
• Workflow ➞ Event ➞ Steps ➞ Job ➞ Action is incorrect because the pull request is the "EVENT" and it should come first
• Action ➞ Steps ➞ Workflow ➞ Event ➞ Job is incorrect because the pull request is the "EVENT" and it should come first
• Action ➞ Steps ➞ Job ➞ Workflow ➞ Event is the right workflow, but just backwards

QUESTION: 8
What two types of projects can you create when using GitHub Projects? (select two)
Option A :
team project
Option B :
organization project
Option C :
milestone project
Option D :
user project
Correct Answer: B,D
You can either create an organization project or a user project. To create an organization project, you need a GitHub
organization.
********************
WRONG ANSWERS:
• team project is not a valid type of project. GitHub only supports an organization or user project
• milestone project is not a valid type of project. GitHub only supports an organization or user project
https://docs.github.com/en/issues/planning-and-tracking-with-projects/learning-about-projects/quickstart-for-projects
QUESTION: 9
What is the difference between an issue template and an issue form?
Option A :
issue templates merely provide text that contributors can remove and replace with their own input, but a
form enables you to build structured forms with required fields and easy-to-follow steps to ensure you
don't miss important details
Option B :
issue templates are built in Markdown, while issue forms require knowledge of HTML to build out different
components of the desired form to capture data from the user submitting the issue in GitHub
Option C :
issue templates are provided by GitHub by default, but issue forms are found in the GitHub Marketplace
and can help with quickly resolving issues submitted by users
Option D :
issue templates are submitted through the GitHub UI, but issue forms are committed directly to the
repository through a merge request
Correct Answer: A
You can create custom issue forms by adding a YAML form definition file to the /.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE folder in your
repository. You can define different input types, validations, default assignees, and default labels for your issue forms.
When a contributor fills out an issue form, their responses for each input are converted to markdown and added to the body of
an issue. Contributors can edit their issues created with issue forms, and other people can interact with the issues like an issue
created through other methods.
********************
WRONG ANSWERS:
• issue templates are built in markdown, but forms are built using YAML, not HTML
• issue templates and issue forms are not provided by GitHub, but are created by GitHub maintainers in an attempt to capture
the correct information from the user submitting the data
• there is no difference between where issues and forms can be created
https://docs.github.com/en/communities/using-templates-to-encourage-useful-issues-and-pull-requests/syntax-for-issue-forms
QUESTION: 10
What is the purpose of branch protection?
Option A :
to enforce two-factor authentication for repository contributors
Option B :
to limit the number of commits allowed on a branch
Option C :
to automatically quarantine branches with suspicious code
Option D :
to prevent accidental or unauthorized changes to branches
Correct Answer: D
You can protect important branches by setting branch protection rules, which define whether collaborators can delete or force
push to the branch and set requirements for any pushes to the branch, such as passing status checks, a linear commit history
or the number of approving reviews.
****************
WRONG ANSWERS:
• Branch protection is not designed to restrict the number of commits but to safeguard branches from unintended changes.
• Branch protection itself does not enforce two-factor authentication. Authentication methods are configured at the user or
organization level on GitHub.
• Branch protection does not have the capability to automatically quarantine branches based on code analysis. Its primary
purpose is to set rules for branch changes and prevent accidental or unauthorized modifications.

QUESTION: 11
How does incorporating GitHub Actions into your development process contribute to increased efficiency and
accelerated development cycles?
Option A :
GitHub Actions can automatically add the appropriate labels whenever someone creates a new issue in
your repository
Option B :
GitHub Actions can run multiple jobs after code has been merged to the main branch, such as deploying
the application and running scripts
Option C :
GitHub Actions can automate the remediation of code errors that are found within a pull request before
merging the changes
Option D :
GitHub Actions can automate tasks such as testing code as soon as a pull request has been created
Correct Answer: A,B,D
GitHub Actions is a continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) platform that allows you to automate your build,
test, and deployment pipeline. You can create workflows that build and test every pull request to your repository, or deploy
merged pull requests to production.
GitHub Actions goes beyond just DevOps and lets you run workflows when other events happen in your repository. For
example, you can run a workflow to automatically add the appropriate labels whenever someone creates a new issue in your
repository.
********************
WRONG ANSWER:
• GitHub Actions won't remediate code errors you have pushed to the repo. It can test them and report back on errors but it
won't automatically fix your bad code :(
https://docs.github.com/en/actions/learn-github-actions/understanding-github-actions
QUESTION: 12
When reviewing a pull request on GitHub, what is the purpose of the "Files changed" tab?
Option A :
the "Files changed" tab shows a list of commits
Option B :
the "Files changed" tab organizes files in descending order based on commit time
Option C :
the "Files changed" tab reveals the proposed changes as they would appear post-merge
Option D :
the "Files changed" tab displays the entire commit history
Correct Answer: C
The "Files changed" tab in a pull request on GitHub displays the proposed changes as they would appear post-merge. Additions
are shown in green and prefixed by a + sign, while removals are displayed in red and prefixed by a - sign.
********************
WRONG ANSWERS:
• The "Files changed" tab does not show a list of commits; it specifically focuses on proposed changes.
• The "Files changed" tab does not display the entire commit history; it focuses on the proposed changes.
• The organization of files in the "Files changed" tab is alphabetical, not based on commit time.

QUESTION: 13
How do GitHub projects automatically stay up to date with changes in issues or pull requests?
Option A :
by avoiding the use of automation in project management
Option B :
by requiring manual updates for each task
Option C :
by limiting access to project collaborators
Option D :
by automatically reflecting changes in fields such as assignees, milestones, and labels
Correct Answer: D
Information is synced automatically to your project as you make changes, updating your views and charts. When you change
information about a pull request or issue in your project, the pull request or issue reflects that information.
*******************
WRONG ANSWERS:
• GitHub projects automatically reflect changes that are made and do not require manual updates for each task
• Limiting access to project collaborators does not help the project automatically stay up to date; the project does it itself
• Automation is a key component in keeping your project up-to-date and organized

QUESTION: 14
You've come across a GitHub Gist containing a useful code snippet that was created by another user, but you
want to make modifications to it for your own use. What is the appropriate action to take?
Option A :
share the Gist URL with others to collaborate on the modifications
Option B :
download the Gist files individually and then upload them to your own Gist
Option C :
fork the Gist, or clone the Gist to your local machine and make the necessary modifications
Option D :
create a new pull request and ask the owner to approve and merge the changes
Correct Answer: C
Gists are actually Git repositories, meaning you can fork or clone any gist, even if you aren't the original author. You can also
view a gist's full commit history, including diffs.
********************
WRONG ANSWERS:
• Sharing the Gist URL with others is not the action you would take to make modifications for your own use. It is more aligned
with collaboration rather than personal customization.
• Downloading and uploading Gist files individually is a more cumbersome process. Forking is a more streamlined way to make
modifications while preserving version history.
• Creating a new pull request and asking the owner to merge isn't the correct path here. You'll want to Fork or Clone the Gist
for your own use.

QUESTION: 15
Phil is an organization owner who provides different levels of access to private repositories owned by his
organization. Who can Phil provide access to?
Option A :
Phil can provide access to organization members and teams but not to outside collaborator
Option B :
Phil can provide access to organization members, outside collaborators, and teams of people by utilizing
roles and permissions for appropriate access levels.
Option C :
Phil can provide access to organization members and outside collaborators regardless if they have a
GitHub account.
Option D :
Phil cannot provide access as an organization owner due to seperation of duties
Correct Answer: B
You can give organization members, outside collaborators, and teams of people different levels of access to repositories owned
by an organization by assigning them to roles.
****************
WRONG ANSWERS:
• Organization owners have complete administrative access to your organization, including setting base permissions that apply
to all members of an organization when accessing any of the organization's repositories.
• Organization owners can limit access to outside collaborators, but GitHub does provider owners the ability to provide access
to outside collaborators should they choose to do so.
• GitHub organization owners cannot provide access to individuals to private accounts who are not GitHub users. Access
control is tied to GitHub accounts.

QUESTION: 16
What is the primary purpose of GitHub Pages, and in what scenarios would you typically use them?
Option A :
GitHub Pages allow you to publish web pages directly from your repository, making them ideal for
showcasing project documentation, a portfolio, or project-related content
Option B :
GitHub Pages are meant for hosting and displaying the repository's source code for public viewing
Option C :
GitHub Pages allow you to run server-side scripts to enhance the functionality of a repository
Option D :
GitHub Pages serve as a version control system for managing changes in a repository
Correct Answer: A
You can use GitHub Pages to host a website about yourself, your organization, or your project directly from a repository on
GitHub.com. GitHub Pages is a static site hosting service that takes HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files straight from a repository
on GitHub, optionally runs the files through a build process, and publishes a website.
********************
WRONG ANSWERS:
• GitHub Pages are not specifically designed for hosting and displaying the repository's source code. They are more commonly
used for publishing web pages related to the project.
• GitHub Pages is not a version control system. It is a feature for hosting and publishing web pages directly from a repository.
• GitHub Pages do not run server-side scripts, and their primary purpose is not to enhance the functionality of a repository.

QUESTION: 17
What is the purpose of creating and using saved replies on GitHub?
Option A :
used to automatically generate new responses to commonly asked questions in the repository
Option B :
used for tracking changes made by collaborators across different branches of a repository
Option C :
to store confidential information that can be shared across different repositories for enhanced
collaboration
Option D :
to help streamline code reviews and issue discussions by providing reusable responses to common
comments or questions
Correct Answer: D
The primary purpose of creating and using saved replies on GitHub is to streamline code reviews and issue discussions. By
saving and reusing common responses, it enhances efficiency and consistency in communication.
********************
WRONG ANSWERS:
• Saved replies are not designed to store confidential information. They are meant to provide reusable responses in a
transparent and collaborative manner.
• Saved replies do not generate new responses automatically. They save time for frequently used replies.
• Saved replies are not directly related to tracking changes collaborators make across different branches. They are more
focused on improving communication and response efficiency.

QUESTION: 18
Which of the following security and analysis settings are always enabled on public repositories?
Option A :
dependency graph
Option B :
vulnerability reporting
Option C :
dependabot alerts
Option D :
secret scanning alerts for users
Correct Answer: A
People with admin permissions to a repository can manage security and analysis settings for the repository. You can manage a
subset of security and analysis features for public repositories. Other features are permanently enabled, including dependency
graph and secret scanning alerts for partners.
****************
WRONG ANSWERS:
• GitHub allows you to enable or disable the ability to receive alerts for vulnerabilities that affect your dependencies and
manually generate Dependabot pull requests to resolve these vulnerabilities
• Some public repositories configure security advisories so that anyone can report security vulnerabilities directly and privately
to the maintainers. Owners and administrators of public repositories can enable or disable private vulnerability reporting on
their repositories.
• Secret scanning alerts for users are available for free on all public repositories, and for private and internal repositories that
are owned by organizations using GitHub Enterprise Cloud with a license for GitHub Advanced Security. When you enable
secret scanning for a repository, GitHub scans the code for patterns that match secrets used by many service providers.
GitHub will always send alerts to partners for detected secrets in public repositories, but secrets scanning alerts for users can
be enabled or disabled on public repositories.

Projects Classic uses a different version control system than Projects
Option D :
Projects has limited integration capabilities compared to Projects Classic
Correct Answer: A
Projects Classic was designed to offer a more simplified experience compared to Projects. It provides a more basic and intuitive
interface to make it more accessible for users looking for a simpler approach.
********************
WRONG ANSWERS:
• Projects Classic is not exclusively for open-source projects. Both Projects and Projects Classic can be used for open-source
projects or private projects.
• Projects Classic does not use a version control system that is different from Projects. Both use the same system, which is Git.
• Projects actually have more integration capabilities than Projects Classic. Projects Classic may have limitations when it comes
to integration capabilities.

QUESTION: 20
What is the basic element of GitHub where users can store your code or files and view their revision history?
Option A :
repository
Option B :
commit
Option C :
issue
Option D :
branch
Correct Answer: A
A GitHub repository is a centralized location where a project's source code, documentation, and related files are stored and
managed using Git version control. It serves as a collaborative space where developers can contribute to the project by
proposing changes, reporting issues, and engaging in discussions. A repository on GitHub provides transparency, enabling
contributors to track the project's development history, view code changes over time, and collaborate seamlessly.
********************
WRONG ANSWERS:
• branches are a parallel line of development that allows for isolated work on new features or bug fixes, keeping changes
separate from the main codebase until ready for integration.
• commits are a snapshot of changes made to files, serving as a record in the version history of a repository
• issues are a tracked item that can represent tasks, enhancements, bugs, or general discussions, providing a centralized way
for collaboration, discussion, and progress tracking

QUESTION: 21
What are some of the reasons that a developer might choose to create a draft pull request in GitHub?
Option A :
to mark changes as incomplete, preventing any collaboration until the code is finalized
Option B :
draft pull requests are mandatory for large codebases and cannot be avoided
Option C :
to gather feedback from team members on proposed changes without the need for a formal review
process
Option D :
to immediately trigger automated testing and integration processes
Correct Answer: C
As a contributor, you want to be able to collaborate with your team members as soon as your code is ready to be reviewed.
You may want to discuss the code with other team members, even if you plan on making changes to it later. But what if you
don't want to submit the code for review just yet? Maybe the code is still a work in progress and you're not quite ready to
merge it. Or maybe you just want to get the conversation started without actually submitting the code.
To help with this, you can use draft pull requests. This feature allows you to clearly indicate that your code is not yet ready for
review. When you create a pull request, you can mark it as a draft instead of submitting it for review. This way, you can still
start the conversation with your team members, while indicating that the code is not yet final.
********************
WRONG ANSWERS:
• Draft pull requests do not immediately trigger automated testing and integration processes. They are a more informal stage
for collaboration before the formal review process.
• Draft pull requests are not mandatory for large codebases; they are optional and serve specific collaboration purposes.
• Draft pull requests are not intended to mark changes as incomplete or prevent collaboration. They are designed to facilitate
collaboration and discussion during the development process.

QUESTION: 22
Which of the following is NOT a GitHub recommendation regarding the use of text messages for GitHub 2FA?
Option A :
Download and save your recovery codes to a secure location
Option B :
Review the list of countries where GitHub supports authentication via SMS
Option C :
Be sure that your device can receive text messages
Option D :
GitHub recommends using SMS for two-factor authentication instead of TOTP and security keys
Correct Answer: D
GitHub strongly recommends using a time-based one-time password (TOTP) application to configure 2FA, and security keys as
backup methods instead of SMS. TOTP applications are more reliable than SMS, especially for locations outside the United
States. Many TOTP apps support the secure backup of your authentication codes in the cloud and can be restored if you lose
access to your device.
****************
WRONG ANSWERS:
• GitHub doesn't support sending SMS messages to phones in every country. Before configuring authentication via text
message, review the list of countries where GitHub supports authentication via SMS
• Before using SMS two-factor authentication on GitHub, be sure that you can receive text messages. Carrier rates may apply.
• GitHub reommends that you download and save your recovery codes to a secure location because your recovery codes can
help you get back into your account if you lose access.

You can receive notifications for activity on GitHub.com in the following locations:
• The notifications inbox in the GitHub.com web interface
• The notifications inbox on GitHub Mobile, which syncs with the inbox on GitHub.com
• An email client that uses a verified email address, which can also sync with the notifications inbox on GitHub.com and GitHub
Mobile
To use the notifications inbox on GitHub and GitHub Mobile, you must enable web and mobile notifications in your notification
settings. For more information, see "Choosing your notification settings."
Tip: If you receive both web and email notifications, you can automatically sync the read or unread status of the notification so
that web notifications are automatically marked as read once you've read the corresponding email notification. To enable this
sync, your email client must be able to view images from [email protected].
******************
WRONG ANSWER:
• GitHub doesn't offer notifications to a mobile phone natively

QUESTION: 24
GitHub has announced a new feature that is available to all users in a Beta release. However, you can't find
the feature while using your personal account. What do you need to do to enable access to this new feature?
Option A :
commit any changes to the repo to ensure your GitHub account is completely up to date with all the
changes on your local machine
Option B :
wait until your repositories have enough stars to enable the Beta features since they are only available to
the most popular users
Option C :
enable Feature preview in your account to gain access to certain Alpha and Beta features
Option D :
upgrade your personal account to GitHub Pro
Correct Answer: C
You can use feature preview to see products or features that are available in beta and to enable or disable each feature for
your personal account.
********************
WRONG ANSWERS:
• you don't need to be a popular developer to gain access to Feature preview. You just need to enable it in your account
• GitHub doesn't know what changes you have made on your local machine, so it wouldn't impact any settings in your account
• Feature preview is not an option in a paid account

QUESTION: 25
Which is true as it relates to GitHub organization owners?
Option A :
organizations can only have a single owner for security purposes
Option B :
organization owners cannot change the role of other organization owners
Option C :
organizations can have more than one owner to avoid lapses in ownership
Option D :
organization owners can change their own organization role
Correct Answer: C
GitHub organizations can have multiple owners for added flexibility and to distribute administrative responsibilities. If an
organization only has one owner, the organization's projects can become inaccessible if the owner is unreachable. To ensure no
one will lose access to a project, GitHub recommends that at least two people within each organization have the owner role.
****************
WRONG ANSWERS:
• GitHub organizations can have multiple owners for added flexibility and to distribute administrative responsibilities. This is
not solely for security purposes; it also allows organizations to designate multiple individuals who share the responsibility of
managing the organization.
• In GitHub organizations, owners cannot change their own organization role, but change the role of other organization
members and owners. The role of an owner is a critical and high-level privilege, and GitHub imposes certain restrictions on
modifying or downgrading the role of an organization owner.
