## Authorizations

- `Authorization` (header, string, required) — Bearer authentication header of the form `Bearer <token>`.

## Headers

- `X-Pinecone-Api-Version` (header, string, required) — Required date-based version header

## Body

- `email` (body, string, required) — The email address to invite.
- `role_bindings` (body, object\[], required) — Role bindings for the invitee. Must include at least one `organization`-scoped binding that grants organization membership (`OrgOwner`, `OrgManager`, `OrgBillingAdmin`, or `OrgMember`); `project`-scoped bindings are optional. Not returned in the response.

## Response

- `200` — Invite created and email sent. The invite's role bindings are first-class; view or change them through the role-binding endpoints.
- `400` — Bad request. The request body included invalid request parameters.
- `401` — Unauthorized. Possible causes: Invalid API key.
- `403` — Forbidden
- `409` — Conflict. The request conflicts with the persisted state of the resource. Common causes include invariant violations (e.g., removing the last `OrgOwner`), lifecycle-state mismatches (e.g., resending an invite that is not pending), and constraint violations checked against persisted data.
- `500` — Internal server error.
- `4XX` — Unexpected error on request.
