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.

Important

Atlas limits the number of teams to a maximum of 250 teams per organization.

POST /orgs/{ORG-ID}/teams
Path Element
Required/Optional
Description
ORG-ID
Required.
The unique identifier for the organization you want to associate the team with.

This endpoint might use any of the HTTP request query parameters available to all Atlas Administration API resources. All of these are optional.

Name
Type
Necessity
Description
Default
pretty
boolean
Optional
Flag indicating whether the response body should be in a prettyprint format.
false
envelope
boolean
Optional

Flag indicating if Atlas should wrap the response in a JSON envelope.

This option may be needed for some API clients. These clients cannot access the HTTP response headers or status code. To remediate this, set envelope=true in the query.

For endpoints that return one result, the response body includes:

status
HTTP response code
envelope
Expected response body
false
Name

Description
name
string
The name of the team you want to create.
usernames

Description
id
string
The unique identifier for the team.
name
string
The name of the organization associated with the team.
usernames
array of strings
Usernames added to the new team.
