Content libraries must be created with a valid Organization identifier that maps to an Organization saved in the database. (This has been required on edx.org for course runs since ~2016).
We will check for any course runs or content libraries currently in the system with invalid Organization identifiers.
If we find them, we may create matching organizations in the database. We’ll do our due diligence before going ahead with the creations.
The organizations database tables (link restricted to organizations admins) will be automatically populated based on the org slugs of all course runs and content libraries in the system.
Newly-created course runs and content libraries will automatically link be linked in the database to Organizations. When there is no Organization to link to, one will automatically be created.
At this time, these changes will not be visible to anyone access to the organizations database.
All environments:
Product managers and developers can now assume Organizations that can be queried and linked to in MySQL database.
Developers can now assume that each Organization in the LMS/Studio database has a unique
short_name(i.e. key/slug/identifier).
