Organizations

The two subclasses of Organization, Department and Geography, both exist in independent trees that belong to Kantata OX Accounts. Users and Workspaces are then associated to exact positions in these two trees via OrganizationMemberships, which have an associated geography_id and department_id. A User or Workspace’s position in these two trees is then used to figure out which objects they can see in Kantata OX by looking at what objects are associated with their organizational subtrees. This feature isn’t currently complete and only some UIs honor Organizations.

Fetching a list of Organizations

This endpoint returns structured Organization objects. As with all Kantata OX API endpoints, the returned data will be referenced in sorted order in the results array and will be indexed by ID in the organizations top-level JSON key. Please see our Response Format section for more information.
