Every Organization has a set of fields that control the authentication and provisioning of its Members. These controls have admin-like capabilities and should be updated deliberately.

The Organization auth settings are grouped by type of auth factor. The auth setting field names are prepended with an auth factor like email or sso or oauth. For example, all Organization fields that begin with email_* are settings that specifically affect provisioning and auth flows via Email Magic Links.

An Organization must always have at least one auth setting that allows new Members to be created and join. As a result, sso_jit_provisioning, email_jit_provisioning, email_invites cannot all be simultaneously set to NOT_ALLOWED.

Here is an example Organization object with its auth settings fully shown.

    "organization_slug": "example-org",
