# Release a domain

> Gives the domain up, in any state, so another organization may claim
it. A domain is never released automatically: this is the only
release, by an Organization Admin, or by a platform admin once the
domain's new owner has proved control. Release is never gated on the
plan or a suspension, so an organization on Free can still let its
domains go.




## OpenAPI

openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: Qumo Deploy REST API
  description: >
    The Qumo Deploy control plane: organizations, projects, signing keys,
    machine

    identities, access control, audit and billing. Relay credentials are not

    issued here: your app signs them with its own

    [signing keys](/guides/signing-keys).


    Every operation here is generated against the routes the server registers

    and checked in CI, so an operation in this reference exists and a route

    missing from it is deliberately internal (relay mesh, webhooks, probes,

    operator-only and browser sign-in routes).


    Errors are JSON objects with one `error` field. What each status code means

    is in [Error codes](/guides/error-codes); the token scope each permission

    needs is in [Scopes and permissions](/guides/scopes-permissions).

        identity token (`POST
        /v1/projects/{project_id}/identities/{identity_id}/tokens`),

        both prefixed `qumo_pat_`. A token's scopes cap what it can do; see

        [Scopes and permissions](/guides/scopes-permissions). A personal

        token names no organization: on a route whose path names no project or

        organization, pass `?organization_id=`.

      description: |
        The session token `qumod login` obtains through the device flow
        (`POST /v1/auth/device/token`). It acts as the signed-in user, like a
        console session, and needs no CSRF token.

      description: |
        The console's browser session. Accepted only on the console origin
        (`https://console.qumo-deploy.com`), never on `api.qumo-deploy.com`.
        A request that changes state must also send `X-CSRF-Token`.
    csrfToken:
      type: apiKey
      in: header
      name: X-CSRF-Token
      description: |
        CSRF token paired with `sessionCookie` on POST, PUT, PATCH and DELETE.
        Bearer requests do not send it.
