> Page: https://docs.plotwork.dev/api/patch-orgs-org. Index of every page: https://docs.plotwork.dev/llms.txt

Changes the name.

`PATCH /orgs/{org}`

## TL;DR

| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What does it do? | Rename an organisation. |
| What does it take? | A JSON body of type [`RenameOrganisationBody`](https://docs.plotwork.dev/api/schemas.md#renameorganisationbody). |
| What does it return? | Status 204 with no body. |
| What can go wrong? | `400` the body is not valid; `401` not signed in; `403` the caller's role may not rename (orgs.forbidden), or the request came from an origin that may not make changes; `404` no such organisation, or the caller is not a member of it; `422` the name holds a word that is not allowed in a name (orgs.name_not_allowed); `429` too many requests; `503` organisations are not set up on this server. Every failure uses the one error envelope. |
