How to Restore a Deleted Organization

Updated on 08 April, 2026

Restore a previously deleted organization on Vultr. Recover the organization and reassociate users, groups, roles, and policies through the Vultr IAM API.


Restoring a deleted organization reinstates it along with its previous configuration, including associated users, groups, roles, and policies. This is useful when an organization was deleted by mistake or when you need to recover access to resources that were managed under that organization.

Note
To restore a deleted organization, you must have the organization's id. If you do not have the id, there is currently no API endpoint to list deleted organizations.

This guide explains how to restore a previously deleted organization using the Vultr API.

  1. Send a PATCH request to the Restore Organization endpoint to restore the deleted organization. Replace {organization-id} with the id of the deleted organization.

    console
    $ curl "https://api.vultr.com/v2/organizations/{organization-id}/restore" \
        -X PATCH \
        -H "Authorization: Bearer ${VULTR_API_KEY}"
    

    A successful restoration returns an HTTP 204 No Content response with no response body.

  2. Send a GET request to the Read Organization endpoint to retrieve the organization details.

    console
    $ curl "https://api.vultr.com/v2/organizations/{organization-id}" \
        -X GET \
        -H "Authorization: Bearer ${VULTR_API_KEY}"
    

    The response confirms the organization has been restored and is accessible again.

  3. Send a GET request to the List Organizations endpoint to retrieve all organizations.

    console
    $ curl "https://api.vultr.com/v2/organizations" \
        -X GET \
        -H "Authorization: Bearer ${VULTR_API_KEY}"
    

    Verify that the restored organization is present in the response.
