Organization API
The Organization HTTP API is divided in two resources, /api/org
(current organization)
and /api/orgs
(admin organizations). One big difference between these are that
the admin of all organizations API only works with basic authentication, see Admin Organizations API for more information.
If you are running Grafana Enterprise, for some endpoints you’ll need to have specific permissions. Refer to Role-based access control permissions for more information.

Admin Organizations API
The Admin Organizations HTTP API does not currently work with an API Token. API Tokens are currently
only linked to an organization and an organization role. They cannot be given the permission of server
admin, only users can be given that permission. So in order to use these API calls you will have to
use Basic Auth and the Grafana user must have the Grafana Admin permission (The default admin user
is called admin
and has permission to use this API).
