# Create Service Account

**POST** `/v1/organizations/service_accounts`

**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 service account.

A service account is a named workload identity that federation rules
target. `organization_role` is `developer` (default) or `admin`; a rule
may only be created or retargeted to grant `org:admin` scope when the
target's `organization_role` is `admin`. Creating an `admin`-role service
account requires an interactive credential (a user OAuth token or a
Console session) — a workload may only create `developer`-role service
accounts.

## Body parameters

- `name: string`

  Slug identifier (lowercase, digits, hyphens). Unique within the organization; a duplicate name returns 409.

  maxLength: 255, minLength: 1

- `description: optional string or null`

  Optional free-text description.

  maxLength: 2000

- `organization_role: optional "admin" or "developer"`

  Org-level role. Defaults to `developer`.

  - `"admin"`

  - `"developer"`

## Returns

- `BetaServiceAccount object`

  Named non-human identity within the caller's organization.

  A service account is a pure identity: name + org. Authorization lives on
  whatever references it (federation rules).

  - `id: string`

    Tagged ID of the service account.

  - `archived_at: string or null`

    If set, this service account is archived.

    format: date-time

  - `archived_by_actor_id: string or null`

    Tagged ID (`user_`/`svac_`) of the actor that archived this service account.

  - `created_at: string`

    When this service account was created.

    format: date-time

  - `created_by_actor_id: string or null`

    Tagged ID (`user_`/`svac_`) of the actor that created this service account.

  - `description: string or null`

    Optional free-text description.

  - `name: string`

    Admin-chosen slug identifier.

  - `organization_role: "admin" or "developer"`

    Org-level role. A federation rule may only be created or retargeted to grant `org:admin` scope when this is `admin`. A rule granting `org:admin` whose target is later demoted to `developer` is rejected at token exchange. Rules granting `org:admin` are managed in the Console.

    - `"admin"`

    - `"developer"`

  - `type: "service_account"`

    default: service_account

  - `updated_at: string`

    When this service account was last updated.

    format: date-time

  - `updated_by_actor_id: string or null`

    Tagged ID (`user_`/`svac_`) of the actor that last updated this service account.
