Request Parameters¶

Request Path Parameters¶

This endpoint does not use HTTP request path parameters.

Request Query Parameters¶

This endpoint may use any of the HTTP request query parameters available to all Cloud Manager API resources. These are all optional.

Name	Type	Description	Default
pageNum	integer	Page number (1-based).	`1`
itemsPerPage	integer	Number of items to return per page, up to a maximum of 500.	`100`
pretty	boolean	Indicates whether the response body should be in a prettyprint format.	`false`
envelope	boolean	Indicates whether or not to wrap the response in an envelope. Some API clients cannot access the HTTP response headers or status code. To remediate this, set `envelope=true` in the query. For endpoints that return a list of results, the `results` object is an envelope. Cloud Manager adds the `status` field to the response body.	`false`

Request Body Parameters¶

Name	Type	Description
name	string	The name of the organization you want to create.

Response¶

Name	Description
id	The unique identifier for the organization.
