Create organization

POST/organizations

Create a new organization for a user. Sub-organization creation availability depends on the organization’s capabilities. The optional profile object accepts partial profile details; its individual fields are not required. Organization names are limited to 65 UTF-8 bytes. Each profile field is limited to 1,000 UTF-8 bytes, and a non-empty business email must be valid. At least one of business name, address, phone, or email must be non-empty to persist a profile.
