List organizations for the authenticated user

List organizations for the authenticated user.

For OAuth app tokens and personal access tokens (classic), this endpoint only lists organizations that your authorization allows you to operate on in some way (e.g., you can list teams with read:org scope, you can publicize your organization membership with user scope, etc.). Therefore, this API requires at least user or read:org scope for OAuth app tokens and personal access tokens (classic). Requests with insufficient scope will receive a 403 Forbidden response.

Note

Requests using a fine-grained access token will receive a 200 Success response with an empty list.
