In the IBM API Connect Developer Portal, there are two distinct methods for establishing a new Consumer organization. The first method is a direct administrative action where a user with appropriate permissions creates the organization, specifying both its title and assigning an existing user as the owner. The second method is an invitation-based workflow, where an administrator invites a new user via email. Upon accepting the invitation and completing the registration process, this new user is prompted to create their own organization and provide its title, thereby becoming its owner.
