## Summary
Adds a set of PAT-authenticated management API endpoints so orgs,
projects, members/invites, environment variables, and a few
project/environment settings can be managed programmatically (scripting,
automation) rather than only through the dashboard. Each route is a thin
wrapper over the **existing** service the dashboard already uses, with
the same authorization applied at the route layer - no new business
logic.
## Endpoints
**Organizations**
- `POST /api/v1/orgs` - create an org (`createOrganization`)
- `PATCH /api/v1/orgs/:orgParam` - rename (title)
- `DELETE /api/v1/orgs/:orgParam` - soft-delete
(`DeleteOrganizationService`; keeps the active-subscription guard)
**Members & invites**
- `GET /api/v1/orgs/:orgParam/members` - list members + pending invites
- `DELETE /api/v1/orgs/:orgParam/members/:memberId` - remove a member
(last-member guarded)
- `POST /api/v1/orgs/:orgParam/invites` - invite by email
(`inviteMembers`, sends the invite email)
- `DELETE /api/v1/orgs/:orgParam/invites/:inviteId` - revoke an invite
**Projects**
- `PATCH /api/v1/projects/:projectRef` - rename
(`ProjectSettingsService`)
- `DELETE /api/v1/projects/:projectRef` - soft-delete
(`DeleteProjectService`)
- `PUT /api/v1/projects/:projectRef/default-region` - set the default
region by worker-group name (`SetDefaultRegionService`)
- project GET/list now return `defaultRegion` (worker-group name, or
null when unset)
**Environments**
- `POST /api/v1/projects/:projectRef/:env/pause` and `/resume`
(`PauseEnvironmentService`)
- `POST /api/v1/projects/:projectRef/:env/regenerate-api-key` - rotate
the env secret key (`regenerateApiKey`, RBAC `write:apiKeys`)
- env var create now accepts an optional `isSecret` flag
## Auth & authorization
- All routes authenticate with a **Personal Access Token**
(`Authorization: Bearer tr_pat_...`).
- Org/project routes are built on the PAT route builders in
`apiBuilder.server.ts`: `createLoaderPATApiRoute` (already existed) and
**`createActionPATApiRoute`** (added here - the loader builder had no
mutation counterpart). The builder runs auth, resolves the org/project
role-floor via `context`, and enforces a declarative `authorization`
block using the same RBAC actions the dashboard applies
(`manage:organization` / `read:members` / `manage:members` /
`manage:project`). Handlers keep a membership-scoped query as the floor,
so a non-member gets a 404. This also gives these routes `tenantContext`
user attribution (Sentry) and `ServiceValidationError`-to-status mapping
for free.
- **Membership floor (important).** The OSS RBAC fallback grants a
permissive ability, so `ability.can(...)` can't reject a non-member on
self-hosted. Every handler therefore resolves the target scoped to the
caller's membership (`members: { some: { userId } }`) → 404 for
non-members. `authorization` is the *role* gate; this is the *tenant*
gate. `resolveOrganizationForApiUser`
(`organizationApiAccess.server.ts`) is the org-tier version of the
existing `findProjectByRef` - org-addressed PAT routes are new, so no
such helper existed before.
- Env-tier routes reuse the existing `authorizePatEnvironmentAccess`
(`write:apiKeys`).
### What `createActionPATApiRoute` gives you
A route is pure declaration - the builder handles auth, RBAC,
validation, tracing, and error mapping:
```ts
export const action = createActionPATApiRoute(
{
method: "PUT", // one verb, or ["PATCH", "DELETE"] for multi-verb routes
params: ParamsSchema,
body: SetDefaultRegionRequestBody, // zod-validated
context: async ({ projectRef }) => { // resolve the org for the RBAC role-floor
const project = await prisma.project.findFirst({
where: { externalRef: projectRef, deletedAt: null },
select: { organizationId: true },
});
return project ? { organizationId: project.organizationId } : {};
},
authorization: { action: "manage", resource: () => ({ type: "project" }) },
},
async ({ params, body, authentication, ability }) => {
// auth + authz already enforced. Just do the work.
// `throw new ServiceValidationError("Region not found", 400)` → mapped to that status.
return json({ ok: true });
}
);
```
Handled for you, so handlers stay thin:
- **Method allowlist** - `method` accepts a verb or an array; any other
verb → `405` with an `Allow` header, *before* auth runs:
```ts
const allowedMethods = method ? (Array.isArray(method) ? method :
[method]) : undefined;
if (allowedMethods && !(allowedMethods as
string[]).includes(request.method.toUpperCase())) {
return json({ error: "Method not allowed" }, { status: 405, headers: {
Allow: allowedMethods.join(", ") } });
}
```
- **PAT / user-actor auth** in a single roundtrip → `401` on
missing/invalid/revoked token.
- **RBAC** - `context` computes the caller's role-floor for the target
org/project; `authorization` gates it → `403` with a structured error
body.
- **Sentry attribution** - `tenantContext.enrich({ userId })` so events
from the handler carry the acting user.
- **Typed errors** - a thrown `ServiceValidationError` is mapped to its
`.status` (default 400); anything else → `500`, and expected boundary
errors are logged as `warn` (kept out of Sentry).
- **Validation** - params / query / headers / body are all zod-checked →
`400` with details.
## Notes for reviewers
- Everything wraps an existing service; the intent is API parity for
things that are currently dashboard-only, not new behaviour.
- `createActionPATApiRoute` is new shared infra (the PAT + RBAC mutation
builder that didn't exist). It's self-contained - the loader builder and
existing routes are untouched.
- `@trigger.dev/core` gets one additive field (`defaultRegion` on the
project response, optional/nullable for client-server version skew) -
changeset included, patch.
- `removeTeamMember`'s last-member guard is now atomic (Serializable
transaction via the `$transaction` helper, with retry), so the dashboard
and API both get it server-side. Added a `## Transactions` rule to
`apps/webapp/CLAUDE.md` (always use the `$transaction` helper);
migrating the remaining direct usages is tracked in TRI-11698.
## Open questions
- ~~Is PAT the right auth (vs OAT for automation)?~~ **Resolved: PAT.**
Organization Access Tokens are currently internal-only (used by the
image builder) and not user-accessible, so they can't back this yet.
- Should any of these be gated behind a flag or scope?
- Naming/shape of the routes.

Write tasks in your codebase
Create tasks where they belong: in your codebase. Version control, localhost, test and review like you're already used to.
import { task } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";
//1. You need to export each task
export const helloWorld = task({
//2. Use a unique id for each task
id: "hello-world",
//3. The run function is the main function of the task
run: async (payload: { message: string }) => {
//4. You can write code that runs for a long time here, there are no timeouts
console.log(payload.message);
},
});
Deployment
Use our SDK to write tasks in your codebase. There's no infrastructure to manage, your tasks automatically scale and connect to our cloud. Or you can always self-host.
Environments
We support Development, Staging, Preview, and Production environments, allowing you to test your tasks before deploying them to production.
Full visibility of every job run
View every task in every run so you can tell exactly what happened. We provide a full trace view of every task run so you can see what happened at every step.
