# 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.
