Organization Memberships

A membership links a user to an organization. Organizations can have many users. Users can be in many organizations if the account supports multiple organizations. You can use the API to list users in an organization, and reassign organization members.

JSON format

Organization Memberships are represented as JSON objects with the following properties:

Name	Type	Read-only	Mandatory	Description
created_at	string	true	false	When this record was created
default	boolean	false	true	Denotes whether this is the default organization membership for the user. If false, returns null
id	integer	true	false	Automatically assigned when the membership is created
organization_id	integer	true	true	The ID of the organization associated with this user, in this membership
organization_name	string	true	false	The name of the organization associated with this user, in this membership
updated_at	string	true	false	When this record last got updated
url	string	true	false	The API url of this membership
user_id	integer	true	true	The ID of the user for whom this memberships belongs
view_tickets	boolean	true	false	Denotes whether the user can or cannot have access to all organization's tickets.
