# Create Federation Rule
**POST** `/v1/organizations/federation_rules`
**Requires an OAuth access token with the `org:admin` scope**, from `ant auth login --scope org:admin` or a workload identity federation rule; Admin API keys are not accepted. See [Manage WIF with the Admin API](/docs/en/manage-claude/wif-admin-api).
Create a federation rule owned by your organization.
The referenced issuer and the target service account must already exist
in the same organization; invalid references are rejected with a 400
error. The workspace reference is validated. Membership is not checked
at rule creation: token exchange resolves a single enabled workspace per
call and is rejected unless the target service account is a member of
that workspace (it is implicitly a member of the default workspace).
Rules on well-known shared issuers (GitHub Actions, GitLab, Buildkite,
Terraform Cloud, Google) must constrain tenant identity via an
identity-bearing claim, a tenant-pinning subject prefix (such as
`repo:YOUR_ORG/...`), or a CEL condition referencing one of those
identity claims (e.g. `claims.repository_owner`). OAuth callers may only
manage rules whose `oauth_scope` is `workspace:developer` or
`workspace:inference`; other scopes require a Console session.
## Body parameters
- `issuer_id: string`
Tagged ID of the federation issuer.
- `match: FederationRuleMatch`
Conditions the verified JWT must satisfy for this rule to apply. At least one of `subject_prefix` (other than a wildcard-only value like `*`), `claims`, or `condition` is required; `audience` alone is not sufficient.
- `audience: optional string or null`
Exact match against the `aud` claim (any element if array). When omitted, the JWT's `aud` must still equal Anthropic's expected audience for the issuer; setting this field overrides that default.
maxLength: 1024
- `claims: optional map[string] or null`
Exact-match `{claim: value}` pairs against top-level claims. Only string-valued claims can be matched; use `condition` for non-string claims.
- `condition: optional string or null`
CEL expression over claims for logic the structural fields can't express. Must evaluate to a boolean and may reference only the `claims` variable; a constant-true expression (such as `true`) is rejected with 400.
maxLength: 4096
- `subject_prefix: optional string or null`
Match the verified JWT `sub` claim. Exact match unless the value ends with `*`, in which case it is a prefix match. Example: `repo:my-org/my-repo:ref:refs/heads/main`.
maxLength: 1024
- `name: string`
Slug identifier (lowercase, digits, hyphens). Unique within the organization; a duplicate name returns 409.
minLength: 1, maxLength: 255
- `oauth_scope: string`
Space-separated OAuth scopes. OAuth callers may only set `workspace:developer` or `workspace:inference`; other scopes (such as `org:admin`) require a Console session.
minLength: 1
- `target: ServiceAccountTarget`
Identity that tokens minted via this rule act as. Currently always a `service_account` target.
- `type: "service_account"`
- `service_account_id: string`
Tagged ID of the service account to mint tokens for.
- `service_account_name: optional string or null`
Service account's display name at read time. Ignored on writes.
- `applies_to_all_workspaces: optional boolean`
When true, enable this rule for every workspace in the org (including workspaces created later).
- `attributes: optional map[string] or null`
CEL expressions `{name: expr}` extracting named values from claims. Not yet supported; any non-empty value is rejected with 400.
- `description: optional string or null`
Optional free-text description.
maxLength: 2000
- `token_lifetime_seconds: optional number`
Lifetime in seconds for access tokens minted via this rule (60-86400). Defaults to 3600 (1h). Minted tokens are capped at `max(60, min(this value, 2 × remaining assertion validity))` seconds.
minimum: 60, maximum: 86400
- `workspace_id: optional string or null`
Tagged ID of the workspace to enable this rule for. Required unless `applies_to_all_workspaces` is true. Additional workspaces can be added via the `/federation_rules/{federation_rule_id}/workspaces` sub-resource.
## Returns
- `FederationRule object`
Authorization rule binding an external OIDC identity to Anthropic.
Evaluates the match conditions and mints an OAuth access token for the
resolved target, scoped to a single workspace where the rule is enabled
(chosen by the caller at exchange time when the rule is enabled for more
than one). For rules enabled via `workspace_ids` or
`applies_to_all_workspaces`, the target service account must be a member
of that workspace (it is implicitly a member of the default workspace);
rules carrying only the legacy `workspace_id` binding do not enforce
this.
- `type: "federation_rule"`
default: federation_rule
- `id: string`
Tagged ID of the federation rule.
- `applies_to_all_workspaces: boolean`
When true, this rule is enabled for every workspace in the org (including ones created after the rule). `workspace_ids` is ignored at exchange time.
- `archived_at: string or null`
If set, this rule is archived and rejects token exchange.
format: date-time
- `archived_by_actor_id: string or null`
Tagged ID (`user_`/`svac_`) of the actor that archived this rule.
- `attributes: map[string] or null`
CEL expressions extracting named values from claims. Not yet supported; always null.
- `created_at: string`
When this rule was created.
format: date-time
- `created_by_actor_id: string or null`
Tagged ID (`user_`/`svac_`) of the actor that created this rule.
- `description: string or null`
Optional free-text description.
- `issuer_id: string`
Tagged ID of the issuer whose tokens this rule accepts.
- `issuer_name: string or null`
Issuer's display name at read time.
- `match: FederationRuleMatch`
Conditions the verified JWT must satisfy for this rule to apply. All populated matcher fields must pass.
- `audience: optional string or null`
Exact match against the `aud` claim (any element if array). When omitted, the JWT's `aud` must still equal Anthropic's expected audience for the issuer; setting this field overrides that default.
maxLength: 1024
- `claims: optional map[string] or null`
Exact-match `{claim: value}` pairs against top-level claims. Only string-valued claims can be matched; use `condition` for non-string claims.
- `condition: optional string or null`
CEL expression over claims for logic the structural fields can't express. Must evaluate to a boolean and may reference only the `claims` variable; a constant-true expression (such as `true`) is rejected with 400.
maxLength: 4096
- `subject_prefix: optional string or null`
Match the verified JWT `sub` claim. Exact match unless the value ends with `*`, in which case it is a prefix match. Example: `repo:my-org/my-repo:ref:refs/heads/main`.
maxLength: 1024
- `name: string`
Admin-chosen slug identifier.
- `oauth_scope: string`
Space-separated OAuth scopes granted on the minted token.
- `target: ServiceAccountTarget`
Identity that tokens minted via this rule act as. Currently always a `service_account` target.
- `type: "service_account"`
- `service_account_id: string`
Tagged ID of the service account to mint tokens for.
- `service_account_name: optional string or null`
Service account's display name at read time. Ignored on writes.
- `token_lifetime_seconds: number`
Lifetime in seconds of access tokens minted via this rule. Minted tokens are capped at `max(60, min(this value, 2 × remaining assertion validity))` seconds.
- `updated_at: string`
When this rule was last updated.
format: date-time
- `updated_by_actor_id: string or null`
Tagged ID (`user_`/`svac_`) of the actor that last updated this rule.
- `workspace_id: string or null`
Legacy single-workspace binding. Prefer `workspace_ids` and the `/federation_rules/{federation_rule_id}/workspaces` sub-resource for managing workspace enablement.
- `workspace_ids: array of string`
Tagged IDs of the workspaces this rule is enabled for. May be empty for older rules that only carry the legacy `workspace_id` binding. Ignored at exchange time when `applies_to_all_workspaces` is true (the list may still be non-empty).
