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.
