Offer ownership of the organization
Platform module
POST/ownership-transfers/offerownershipTransfers.offer
An Owner (org.ownership.transfer) with step-up offers the bound org to another active member who is not an Owner (app.offer_ownership_transfer), choosing whether they become an Admin or leave on acceptance. One open offer per org; it lapses after 7 days. Without a recent second factor the call answers 422 step_up_required; an API key answers step_up_session_only. Requires `Idempotency-Key`; a replay returns the original response. A rule that refuses the request returns 422 with `refusal` and `reason`.
- Requires the capability org.ownership.transfer.
- OAuth scopes: org.
- Send an Idempotency-Key header. A replay with the same key returns the original response.
- Error statuses: 400, 401, 409, 422, 429. Errors are RFC 9457 problem details.
