        Pass `Authorization: Bearer <credential>`, where the credential is
        either:

        - an API key (`sk_…`), generated by an organization admin in Settings,
        for scripts and automation;

        - an access token from `tth auth login` (the TalkToHumans CLI), which
        any member of the workspace can use.


        Both resolve to the same organization and user. A login token acts in
        the user's workspace: one with no workspace yet returns `403
        workspace_setup_required`, and one in several workspaces returns `403
        forbidden` (use an API key instead).
