# Create Organization

`POST /v1/organizations`

Create an organization with the caller as its owner.

Takes a name; the slug is derived from it with a random suffix, so two
organizations may share a name and a later rename does not move the slug.
A default workspace is provisioned alongside, because an organization
without one has nowhere to hold a key, a budget or a usage row.

The caller is **not** moved into it. Switching is a separate call
(``POST /me/switch``), so creating an organization does not change what the
rest of the caller's session is looking at.

## Request body

- OrganizationCreateRequest — Create an organization, with the caller as its owner. Name only. The slug is derived server-side and never sent, because it is unique where the name is not: two organizations may share a name, and a rename deliberately does not move the slug.
