**PUT** `https://www.digicert.com/services/v2/organization/{{organization_id}}/deactivate`

Use this endpoint to deactivate an organization. If you have many organizations in your account, you can use this endpoint to hide one of them from the list of active organizations. Any domains exclusively associated with a deactivated organization become deactivated as well. Deactivating an organization does not remove any validations for the organization.
