### Overview

Create an exposure SQL model. Requires at least one subject type. The warehouse connection is resolved from the organization, which has exactly one. This endpoint requires the `product_analytics_warehouse_model_write` permission.

OAuth apps require the `product_analytics_warehouse_model_write` authorization [scope](https://docs.datadoghq.com/api/latest/scopes.md#experiments) to access this endpoint.
