Create namespace

POST

/v1/ns

curl --request POST \
  --url 'https://example.com/v1/ns?authority=document' \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/yaml' \
  --data example

Creates a new namespace with an initial config version. Body is YAML or JSON config.

Authorization depends on parent: a child (parent supplied) requires namespace:create-child on the parent and inherits its partition; a root (parent omitted) requires namespace:create on the target partition. A caller holding partition grants on more than one partition must name the target with ?partition= when creating a root — otherwise the request is 400 (ambiguous).
