Assign an application in an organization

POST /v1/organizations/{org_id}/applications/{application_id}/assignments · permission organizations:write

Assigns the application to a membership or a directory group of the organization. For an application in assigned_only mode, organization sign-in additionally requires the user's membership, or one of the user's directory groups, to be assigned. The application must be enabled in the organization first. Directory groups come from SCIM; deleting a group deletes its assignments. Idempotency-Key is optional.

application_id path yes Application ID (app_…).
target_type string yes membership or directory_group.
target_id string yes Target ID; its prefix must match target_type (mem_… or dsg_…).
