Overview

Xapi organizations enable centrally managing your APIs and API development teams. Under an organization, you may manage multiple projects.

Organization types

Xapi offers different organization types catering to various organizational needs:

• Default organization: A default organization is automatically created when a new user registers with Xapi.
