Blocking Organizations Users

Note: The User Blocking API on GitHub is currently available for developers to preview. To access the API, you must provide a custom media type in the Accept header:

application/vnd.github.giant-sentry-fist-preview+json

Warning: The API may change without advance notice during the preview period. Preview features are not supported for production use. If you experience any issues, contact GitHub support.

The token used to authenticate the call must have the admin:org scope in order to make any blocking calls for an organization. Otherwise, the response returns HTTP 404.
