The organization starts as `waiting_for_owner` with its default roles and scope, and the owner gets an invitation; it becomes `active` when they accept. `reactivate: true` restores a deleted organization that holds the slug. Requires a site administrator's user token. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /openapi/hub-by-tag/hub-organizations.yaml post /v1/orgs/new openapi: 3.0.3 info: title: 'CliqHub API: Organizations' version: 1.0.0 description: >- An organization owns realms, teams (through its scopes) and people. Every organization has four built-in roles, **Owner**, **Admin**, **Operator** and **Member**, and can define its own: a role is a named set of permissions (List permissions shows them all). Owners can do everything; `org.delete` and `org.transfer` belong to owners only. **Scopes** are the organization's package namespaces (`@acme`, `@acme-labs`): teams are published under a scope, and only the scope's members may publish to it. The organization's **team library** lists the teams its realms may use. Organization-wide notification rules also live here. People join an organization through Send an invitation. Organizations are created by site administrators for their future owner. servers: - url: https://{host} variables: host: default: cliqhub.io description: CliqHub host security: [] tags: - name: Organizations description: >- An organization owns realms, teams (through its scopes) and people.
