Invites one user to the Atlas organization that you specify.

The user must accept the invitation to access the Atlas organization.

The Atlas Administration API authenticates using HTTP Digest Authentication. Provide a programmatic API public key and corresponding private key as the username and password when constructing the HTTP request. To learn how to configure API access for an Atlas project, see Get Started with the Atlas Administration API.

You can successfully call this endpoint with the Organization Owner role.
