# Get an organization

`GET /orgs/{org}`

To see many of the organization response values, you need to be an authenticated organization owner with the `admin:org` scope. When the value of `two_factor_requirement_enabled` is `true`, the organization requires all members, billing managers, and outside collaborators to enable [two-factor authentication](https://docs.github.com/enterprise-server@3.7/articles/securing-your-account-with-two-factor-authentication-2fa/).

GitHub Apps with the `Organization plan` permission can use this endpoint to retrieve information about an organization's GitHub Enterprise Server plan. See "[Authenticating with GitHub Apps](https://docs.github.com/enterprise-server@3.7/apps/building-github-apps/authenticating-with-github-apps/)" for details. For an example response, see 'Response with GitHub Enterprise Server plan information' below."
