Limits
  • write-gated invite restriction, and the page title is 'Register - Open Data Portal | Queensland Go source
The most open registration form found in the whole survey — /user/register accepts only Username, Displayed name, Email, Password, with no domain or invite restriction, and the page title is 'Register - Open Data Portal | Queensland Government'. But a self-registered account still lands with no organisation, and publishing is governed by the Queensland Government data-publishing standards for agencies. Unauthenticated organization_create returned an empty body (not a clean denial), so treat the write path as unproven rather than open.
