# Create division

`POST /tenants/{tenant_id}/divisions`

Creates a division inside the tenant. `protected` divisions require a resource confirmation code on delete. The new division ID is returned in the `ld-division` response header.

## Path parameters

- `tenant_id` integer, required

## Request body

- CreateDivision
  - `description` string
  - `email` string
  - `name` string, required
  - `protected` boolean, nullable — Optional. When `true`, deletion is hardened: deleting this division will require a one-time confirmation code emailed to the tenant address (request via `PUT /tenants/{tenant_id}/request_code` with `action = "delete_division"`). Defaults to `false` when omitted.

## Response `201`

Division created. The new division ID is returned in the ld-division header

## Other responses

- `400` — Invalid name / description / email or tenant divisions limit reached
- `403` — Insufficient permissions on the tenant
- `409` — Name already used
