Hi Roman01

I would like to recommend a different approach. You could get someone else to assign the Organization owner as a member of this team. This way, this user can retain the role of an organization owner and still be part of the team.

The reason you faced this issue is because we currently do not allow a user to search for and add themselves to a team. We have taken note of the issue you faced and will work on evaluating if we should make some changes to this rule to avoid such issues in the future. Please let me know if you have any questions.
