intro: >-
  Organization members can request installation of a {% data
  variables.product.prodname_github_app %} for their organization.

shortTitle: Request for org

Currently, you can only request a {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} from your organization owner when installing the {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} directly from the {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} owner, not when installing a {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} from {% data variables.product.prodname_marketplace %}.

If you find a {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} on {% data variables.product.prodname_marketplace %} that you want your organization owner to install, you must make the request from the {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %}'s public installation page. The URL for a {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} public installation page is https://github.com/apps/APP-NAME/installations/new, where APP-NAME is the name of the {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %}.

Organization members can send a request for their organization owner to install a {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} on the organization. To do so, follow the steps outlined in AUTOTITLE. If you don't have permission to install the {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} on the organization, {% data variables.product.company_short %} will send an email to the organization owner to notify them of the request. The organization owner can modify the repositories that you selected and choose whether to install the {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %}.
