# Validate that the user may use an org as their workspace context

> Checks active membership in the given org before the client flips its `X-Current-Org-Id` header. The literal value "personal" is always valid and returns `currentOrgId: null` without a database lookup. Returns 403 if the user is not an active member of the requested org. Requires a Nevermined API key or a Privy identity token.
