## Usage

> Using `clerkClient` varies based on the SDK you're using. Refer to the [overview](https://clerk.com/docs/reference/backend/overview.md) for usage details, including guidance on [how to access the `userId` and other properties](https://clerk.com/docs/reference/backend/overview.md#example-get-the-user-id-and-other-properties).

```ts
const response = await clerkClient.instances.updateOrganizationSettings({
  enabled: true,
  maxAllowedMemberships: 10,
  adminDeleteEnabled: true,
})
```

## Backend API (BAPI) endpoint

This method in the SDK is a wrapper around the BAPI endpoint `PATCH/instance/organization_settings`. See the [BAPI reference](https://clerk.com/docs/reference/backend-api/tag/instance-settings/PATCH/instance/organization_settings){{ target: '_blank' }} for more information.
