Classifications

Create a classification

POST/classifications
classifications:writecreate_classification

Creates a classification in the organisation and returns it with a Location. A label another classification already has, ignoring case, returns 422. Callers without the manage-classifications permission get 403 missing_permission; holders of the assign-only permission can't create. dry_run shows the result without saving it. Emits classification.created and sends no email. DELETE /classifications/{id} undoes it.

Query parameters

    Validate and run the call without committing it, returning what the real call would return with meta.dry_run set.

Headers
