[EXPERIMENTAL] Modify a member's role within an organization

## Synopsis

[EXPERIMENTAL] Modify a member's role within an organization.

Updates the role assigned to an organization member. Pass --role to
assign one of the built-in roles (member, admin, or billing-manager),
--fga-role-name to assign a custom role by name, or --fga-role-id to
assign by ID. These flags are mutually exclusive.

Default output is a human-readable summary; pass --output=json for the
raw member record as JSON.

```
pulumi org member edit <user-login> [flags]
```

## Examples

```
  # Promote a member to admin
  pulumi org member edit alice --role admin

  # Assign a custom role by name
  pulumi org member edit alice --fga-role-name "Developer"

  # Assign a custom role by ID
  pulumi org member edit alice --fga-role-id role-abc123
```
