# Create or Add Team to Organization

```http
POST /v1/organizations/{organizationId}/teams
```

Create a new team under an organization, or add an existing team. `mode: "create"` creates a brand-new child team from `slug` + `name` — a platform child by default, or an enterprise child (billed on the organization root's flex subscription) when `billingPlan: "enterprise"` is supplied. `mode: "link"` links an existing team identified by `teamId` or `slug`; the child's billing profile is derived from the target team's plan (enterprise team → enterprise child, else platform), or explicitly supplied. Both modes respond with the resulting organization-team link. This endpoint is in private beta. Contact your Vercel account team for access.

## Authentication
