You do not have access to this organization

Error message

You do not have access to this organization

What it means

Authorization guard in _verify_org_access: the caller is not a proxy admin (or admin-view role) and their user_id is either missing or does not hold an org_admin membership in the target organization, so organization-scoped operations are denied with 403.
