Retrieves a paginated list of all OUs, up to Y at a time, along with their basic attributes. A default page size of 25 is used.

The beginning of each response includes a count and a link to the next page. Each entry in the list has a link to itself, which can be used to retrieve that individual OU, as well as links to its associated permissions, child OUs, and hosts.

GET

/orgs/<id>

Retrieves an OU, or “Not found.”

GET

/orgs/<id>/children

&page_size=Y

Returns an array of child OUs.

Each one includes links to itself, its permissions, children and hosts.

GET

/orgs/<id>/perms

/orgs/<id>/perms?page=X

&page_size=Y

Returns a (possibly paginated) list of permissions associated with the OU.

/orgs/<id>/hosts?page=X

&page_size=Y

POST

/orgs

Creates a new OU. Returns the newly created OU. Note that the code and parent fields are case-sensitive.

body: {

  “code”: string,

  “name”: string,

  “parent”: string (parent code)*,

  “parent_name”: string*,

  “parent_long_name”: string*

}

*Include only one of these three optional fields to specify the parent OU, if needed.

PUT

/orgs/<id>

Updates (replaces) existing OU. Returns the OU.

Include the code and name along with any fields which you want to change.

DELETE

/orgs/<id>

If you attempt to remove an OU which has children, an error is returned. You will need to first remove the children or reassign them to another parent.
