Sub-organizations
Sub-organizations have been replaced by projects. Existing sub-organizations keep working until you cancel them. You cannot create a new one; to separate your work, create a project instead.Before you start
- The Sub-organizations section only appears in Organization settings when your organization still has sub-organizations.
- Only organization owners and admins can generate a key for one or cancel it.
What you’ll see
The page is headed Sub-Organizations with the line “Sub-organizations have been replaced by projects. Existing sub-organizations keep working until you cancel them.”- Each row shows the name, URL name, description, a status pill (active, suspended and so on), the requests per month (for example “50,000 req/mo”), the date created, and Billing active when its subscription is running.
- Empty state: “This organization has no sub-organizations. Use projects to separate your work.”
- Green and red message bars appear at the top after an action, with a small cross to close them.
Generate another key for an existing one
1
Choose the key icon
On the sub-organization’s row, select the key icon (its tooltip is Generate API Key). The panel is titled Generate API key: “A key scoped to this sub-organization.”
2
Name it and pick an environment
Type a Key name (up to 80 characters, for example
Backend API key) and choose Test or Live under Environment. A live key needs a paid plan.3
Generate
Select Generate key (Generating… while it works). The panel changes to Key created: “Copy it now. It is shown only this once.” Select Copy key, then Done.
Cancel a sub-organization
Select the bin icon on its row (tooltip Cancel Sub-Organization). The confirmation, titled Cancel sub-organization, says cancelling revokes all of its API keys, so any integration using them stops working immediately, and cancels its subscription. Choose Cancel sub-organization to go ahead or Keep it to back out. A green message confirms it. Cancelling is the only way out: a sub-organization cannot be deleted, and its billing details cannot be edited.Common questions
