`PUT /orgs/{org}/publishing`

## TL;DR

| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What does it do? | Choose where an organisation's members publish. |
| What does it take? | A JSON body of type [`SetOrganisationPublishingBody`](https://docs.plotwork.dev/api/schemas.md#setorganisationpublishingbody). |
| What does it return? | Status 200 with a body of type [`OrganisationPublishing`](https://docs.plotwork.dev/api/schemas.md#organisationpublishing). |
| What can go wrong? | `400` the body is not valid, or hideviewlinks was sent with a policy other than organisation-required; `401` not signed in; `403` the role may not (orgs.forbidden), the plan does not include organisation-required (plan.publishing_not_included), 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; `429` too many requests; `503` organisations are not set up on this server. Every failure uses the one error envelope. |

## What it does

personal, organisation-default (a member's publish that names no organisation goes to the private library) or organisation-required (nothing a member publishes reaches a public link). hideViewLinks, with organisation-required only, leaves view links out of hosted answers. The owner or an admin; organisation-required needs Pro or Enterprise.
