Add OrganizationRestore GraphQL mutation
Expose the `Organizations::RestoreService` (from #599343) through a new `OrganizationRestore` GraphQL mutation, transitioning a soft-deleted organization back to `active`. Admin-only.
## Dependency
> **Update (2026-07-15):** #599343 is now **complete and merged** (via !239973), so this issue is **no longer blocked** and can start now. `Organizations::RestoreService` and the `:restore_organization` policy ability both exist.
~~Blocked by #599343, which must land first since it provides:~~
- `Organizations::RestoreService` (the service this mutation calls), and
- the `:restore_organization` policy ability (admin-only) used for `authorize`.
## Background
The existing organization mutations live in `app/graphql/mutations/organizations/` (`Create`, `Update`, `OrganizationUsers::Update`) and are mounted in `app/graphql/types/mutation_type.rb` behind an `experiment` milestone marker. All of them declare both a declarative-policy `authorize` and an `authorize_granular_token` permission. There is no delete/soft-delete/restore mutation yet, so `OrganizationRestore` is the first state-transition mutation in this namespace.
## Implementation plan
### 1. Mutation — `app/graphql/mutations/organizations/restore.rb`
Inherit directly from `BaseMutation` (not `Mutations::Organizations::Base`, which adds `description`/`avatar` arguments that don't apply to restore):
```ruby
# frozen_string_literal: true
module Mutations
module Organizations
class Restore < BaseMutation
graphql_name 'OrganizationRestore'
authorize :restore_organization
authorize_granular_token permissions: :restore_organization, boundary: :instance, boundary_type: :instance
argument :id,
Types::GlobalIDType[::Organizations::Organization],
required: true,
description: 'ID of the organization to restore.'
field :organization,
::Types::Organizations::OrganizationType,
null: true,
description: 'Organization after mutation.'
def resolve(id:)
organization = authorized_find!(id: id)
result = ::Organizations::RestoreService.new(
organization,
current_user: current_user
).execute
{ organization: result.payload[:organization], errors: result.errors }
end
end
end
end
```
Notes:
- `authorized_find!(id:)` resolves the GlobalID and runs the `:restore_organization` policy check, returning a top-level error for unauthorized callers before the service runs.
- The `:restore_organization` policy ability is admin-only (defined in #599343), so non-admin owners are rejected here even though they can soft-delete.
- Service-level errors (e.g. organization not soft-deleted) surface in the mutation's `errors` array via `result.errors`, matching `Create`/`Update`.
### 2. Granular token permission registry
All sibling org mutations declare `authorize_granular_token`, which requires the permission to be registered. Add:
`config/authz/permissions/organization/restore.yml`:
```yaml
---
name: restore_organization
description: Grants the ability to restore soft-deleted organizations
```
`config/authz/permission_groups/assignable_permissions/organizations/organization/restore.yml`:
```yaml
---
name: restore_organization
description: Grants the ability to restore soft-deleted organizations
boundaries:
- instance
available_for:
- granular_access_token
permissions:
- restore_organization
```
(Same name shared by the policy ability and granular permission — consistent with how `create_organization` is used by `OrganizationCreate`.)
> **Note:** Verify these file locations, keys, and boundary values at build time against a sibling mutation (e.g. `create_organization`) in case the expected format has changed.
### 3. Mount the mutation — `app/graphql/types/mutation_type.rb`
Alongside the other org mutations (after `Mutations::Organizations::OrganizationUsers::Update`), behind the current milestone's experiment marker:
```ruby
mount_mutation Mutations::Organizations::Restore, experiment: { milestone: '19.3' }
```
### 4. Regenerate GraphQL docs & schema
```
bundle exec rake gitlab:graphql:compile_docs
```
This updates `doc/api/graphql/reference/_index.md` (adds `Mutation.organizationRestore` + `OrganizationRestoreInput`/`OrganizationRestorePayload`) and dumps the schema. CI's `graphql-verify` job fails if these are stale.
### 5. Request spec — `spec/requests/api/graphql/mutations/organizations/restore_spec.rb`
Mirror the existing org mutation request specs, covering:
- Unauthenticated / non-admin user → top-level authorization error, organization unchanged.
- Admin restoring a `soft_deleted` organization → `soft_deleted → active`, response returns the organization with empty `errors`.
- Admin restoring a non-`soft_deleted` organization → `errors` populated by the service, no state change.
- Invalid/unknown GlobalID → resource-not-available error.
## Out of scope
- The `Organizations::RestoreService` itself - #599343+
- Admin Area UI / button to trigger restore — separate issue.
- A soft-delete GraphQL mutation - https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/work_items/594313+
## Acceptance criteria
- [ ] `OrganizationRestore` mutation exists and calls `Organizations::RestoreService`.
- [ ] The mutation is authorized via the admin-only `:restore_organization` ability and registered as a granular-token permission, consistent with sibling org mutations.
- [ ] Restoring a soft-deleted organization transitions it to `active` and returns it in the payload.
- [ ] Service validation failures surface in the mutation `errors` array.
- [ ] The mutation is mounted behind an `experiment` milestone marker.
- [ ] GraphQL reference docs and schema are regenerated.
- [ ] Request spec covers authorization, success, validation failure, and not-found cases.
