6767The Messages API is stateless, which means that you always send the full conversational history to the API. You can use this pattern to build up a conversation over time. Earlier conversational turns don't necessarily need to actually originate from Claude. You can use synthetic `assistant` messages.

77This page covers managing the people in your **Claude Enterprise** (claude.ai) organization programmatically, using the [Admin API](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/admin): list members and look them up by email address, change a member's role, remove members, send and withdraw invites, manage your enterprise's groups and their membership, and read your organization's custom roles. For Claude Console (Claude Platform) organizations, see the [Admin API guide for Claude Console](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/admin-api).

99<Note>

10 **The endpoints on this page are in beta for Claude Enterprise organizations.** The beta is enabled for all Claude Enterprise organizations. Group and custom-role requests must include the [beta header](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/beta-headers) `anthropic-beta: ce-user-management-2026-07-13`; requests without it return 404. Member and invite requests take no beta header.

10 **The endpoints on this page are generally available for Claude Enterprise organizations.** The [beta header](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/beta-headers) `anthropic-beta: ce-user-management-2026-07-13` is no longer required on group and custom-role requests; requests that still send it are accepted and behave identically. The group and custom-role examples on this page still send the header, which continues to work.

1313## Which endpoints can your organization use?

from line 14

1414

1515The Admin API is a single set of endpoints under `https://api.anthropic.com/v1/organizations/`. Claude Console and Claude Enterprise organizations authenticate with [different keys](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/admin-api-keys) and each have access to a different subset of the endpoints:

2525Members and invites are the same endpoints for both organization types; this page documents their Claude Enterprise behavior, including the Claude Enterprise [organization roles](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/user-management#organization-roles). The group and custom-role endpoints exist only for Claude Enterprise.

2828 **Scoped Admin API key required**

2929

30 These endpoints require an Admin API key with the `read:members` scope (member and invite `GET` endpoints, and all custom-role endpoints; there is no separate role scope), the `write:members` scope (member and invite `POST` and `DELETE` endpoints), the `read:rbac_groups` scope (group `GET` endpoints), or the `write:rbac_groups` scope (group `POST` and `DELETE` endpoints). A key carrying the `read:org_audit` scope (a read-only scope for security-audit integrations) can also call every `GET` endpoint on this page and the [Compliance API](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/compliance-api) read endpoints. See [Create an Admin API key](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/admin-api-keys#create-a-key-for-a-claude-enterprise-organization) for where your primary owner creates one and which scopes to select. Pass the key in the `x-api-key` header on every request. Member and invite requests also require the `anthropic-version: 2023-06-01` header, as shown in the examples; group and custom-role requests do not, and instead require the `anthropic-beta` header described in the preceding note.

246246## Groups

247247

248Groups your enterprise creates directly, in [claude.ai organization settings](https://claude.ai/admin-settings) or through this API (`source_type: "direct"`), support every endpoint in this section. Groups provisioned by your identity provider (`source_type: "scim"`) can be read but not modified: renaming or deleting a SCIM group, or changing its membership, returns 400, because your identity provider owns it. Every group request must include the `anthropic-beta: ce-user-management-2026-07-13` header, as shown in the examples; requests without it return 404. Unlike member and invite requests, group requests do not require the `anthropic-version` header.

423423## Custom roles

424424

425Custom roles are read-only through the API: these endpoints catalog your organization's custom roles (defined in [claude.ai organization settings](https://claude.ai/admin-settings) or provisioned by Anthropic) and the permissions each role grants. Custom-role reads use the `read:members` scope (there is no separate role scope) and work with an organization-level key: unlike the group endpoints, they do not require a key created for all linked organizations, and the catalog returned is your organization's own. Custom-role requests, like group requests, must include the `anthropic-beta: ce-user-management-2026-07-13` header; requests without it return 404.

13### August 19, 2026

15* The [Admin API](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/admin) user-management endpoints for **Claude Enterprise** (claude.ai) organizations (members, invites, groups, and custom roles) are now generally available. The `anthropic-beta: ce-user-management-2026-07-13` header is no longer required on group and custom-role requests; requests that still send it are accepted unchanged. See [User management](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/user-management).

1317### August 18, 2026

1519* Workbench is now [**Playground**](https://platform.claude.com/playground) in the Claude Console. Playground supports every Messages API parameter and includes templates that demonstrate API features such as code execution and web search. It shows the full SDK request and the API response for each run, to help you understand the API and build with it. For more, see the [Claude Help Center](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/8606378-how-do-i-use-playground) or try it at [platform.claude.com/playground](https://platform.claude.com/playground).
