Typo in docs for Enterprise Server 3.8- Check organization membership for a user

What article on docs.github.com is affected?

Under Check organization membership for a user for Enterprise server 3.8 - the status code I get when using the API is different from the docs.

According to the docs you would expect a 302 status code if requester is not an organization member

However, when making a get request /orgs/{org}/members/{username} (where org is an organization I am not a member of and username is that of a user in the organization), I get a 404 status code, along with the message User does not exist or is not a member of the organization - which leads me to believe that the 404 status code is the expected one.

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

Update the HTTP response status codes for "Check organization membership for a user" in the docs.

Thank you for opening this issue! Updates to the REST API, GraphQL API, and webhook reference documentation must be made internally. I have copied your issue to an internal issue, so I will close this issue.

👋 Hi @natashamm! I was looking into this and believe that the endpoint is working as documented. At first, I thought I was seeing the behavior you described, but then realized my API client was following the redirect to the public members endpoint: https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-server@3.8/rest/orgs/members#check-public-organization-membership-for-a-user

The 404 message is slightly different there: "User does not exist or is not a public member of the organization".
