As a follow up to [the new scopes][yesterday] we announced yesterday, we've
introduced even more OAuth scopes for working with organization and team
resources:

- `read:org` provides read-only access to organizations, teams, and membership.
- `write:org` allows an application to publicize and unpublicize an organization membership.
- `admin:org` enables an application to fully manage organizations, teams, and memberships.

Check out [the full list of OAuth scopes][scopes] supported by the API to
ensure your application asks for only the permissions it needs. As always, if
you have any questions or feedback, [get in touch][contact].
