Organization not found: {organization_id}. An organization m

Error message

Organization not found: {organization_id}. An organization must exist before it can be set as the default organization for new teams.

What it means

Referential-integrity check for the default organization setting: the configured organization_id has no row in LiteLLM_OrganizationTable. Teams created later from these settings would all fail organization assignment, so the unknown id is rejected at save time where the admin can correct it.

    Teams are created from these settings long after they are saved, and an unknown
    organization id would fail every future team creation instead of here, where the
    admin who typed it can still fix it.
