# organization

query · in the family [Reading your records](/reference/reading-your-records/)

## What it does

Look up one record — an organization — one store or business unit in your group.

An Organization by id, within the caller's OWN org-group family; requires authentication. A cross-tenant id reads as null (not-found) AND trips the rootId tripwire server-side.

## What happens

Reads only — changes nothing.
