## Create Federation Issuer
**post** `/v1/organizations/federation_issuers`
Register an OIDC issuer that Anthropic will trust for workload identity
federation in your organization.
The `jwks` field controls how the issuer's signing keys are obtained and
takes one of three shapes selected by `type`: `discovery` (resolve keys
through OIDC discovery), `explicit_url` (fetch keys from a fixed JWKS
URL), or `inline` (provide a static key set). When `jwks.type` is
`discovery` and no `discovery_base` is set, the issuer URL must be
publicly reachable over HTTPS so Anthropic can fetch the discovery
document; for `explicit_url` and `inline` modes the issuer URL is only
matched as the JWT's `iss` claim and is not fetched.
Requires an OAuth bearer or Console session; Admin API keys are not
accepted.
### Header Parameters
- `"anthropic-beta": optional array of string`
Optional header to specify the beta version(s) you want to use.
To use multiple betas, use a comma separated list like `beta1,beta2` or specify the header multiple times for each beta.
### Body Parameters
- `issuer_url: string`
The `iss` claim value to match against.
- `name: string`
Slug identifier (lowercase, digits, hyphens). Unique within the organization; a duplicate name returns 409.
- `check_jti: optional boolean or null`
Whether the jwt-bearer exchange enforces JTI single-use (replay protection) for tokens from this issuer. Defaults to true. Applies only to assertions carrying a `jti` claim; tokens without one are accepted without single-use enforcement.
- `jwks: optional object { type, ca_cert_pem, discovery_base } or object { type, url, ca_cert_pem } or object { keys, type }`
How signing keys are obtained. Defaults to OIDC discovery.
- `Discovery object { type, ca_cert_pem, discovery_base }`
JWKS via the issuer's OIDC discovery document.
- `type: "discovery"`
- `"discovery"`
- `ca_cert_pem: optional string or null`
Optional custom CA (PEM) for TLS verification of the JWKS fetch.
- `discovery_base: optional string or null`
Set when the discovery URL differs from `issuer_url`.
- `ExplicitURL object { type, url, ca_cert_pem }`
JWKS fetched from a fixed endpoint.
- `type: "explicit_url"`
- `"explicit_url"`
- `url: string`
JWKS endpoint.
- `ca_cert_pem: optional string or null`
Optional custom CA (PEM) for TLS verification of the JWKS fetch.
- `Inline object { keys, type }`
JWKS supplied directly; no network fetch.
- `keys: array of map[unknown]`
Inline JWK objects.
- `type: "inline"`
- `"inline"`
- `max_jwt_lifetime_seconds: optional number or null`
Maximum allowed iat→exp spread for assertions from this issuer (1-176400 seconds, i.e. up to 49h). Defaults to 3600 (1h). Assertions must carry both `iat` and `exp`; a missing `iat` is rejected.
### Returns
- `FederationIssuer object { id, archived_at, archived_by_actor_id, 12 more }`
Registered external OIDC identity provider.
Records an external IdP the organization trusts for the RFC 7523
jwt-bearer grant. The `issuer_url` must match the JWT `iss` claim exactly.
- `id: string`
Tagged ID of the federation issuer.
- `archived_at: string or null`
If set, all rules referencing this issuer reject token exchange.
- `archived_by_actor_id: string or null`
Tagged ID (`user_`/`svac_`) of the actor that archived this issuer.
- `check_jti: boolean`
Whether the jwt-bearer exchange enforces JTI single-use (replay protection) for tokens from this issuer. Applies only to assertions carrying a `jti` claim; tokens without one are accepted without single-use enforcement.
- `created_at: string`
When this issuer was created.
- `created_by_actor_id: string or null`
Tagged ID (`user_`/`svac_`) of the actor that created this issuer.
- `issuer_url: string`
The `iss` claim value. Incoming JWTs must match exactly.
- `jwks: object { type, ca_cert_pem, discovery_base } or object { type, url, ca_cert_pem } or object { keys, type }`
How signing keys are obtained for signature verification.
- `Discovery object { type, ca_cert_pem, discovery_base }`
JWKS via the issuer's OIDC discovery document.
- `type: "discovery"`
- `"discovery"`
- `ca_cert_pem: optional string or null`
Optional custom CA (PEM) for TLS verification of the JWKS fetch.
- `discovery_base: optional string or null`
Set when the discovery URL differs from `issuer_url`.
- `ExplicitURL object { type, url, ca_cert_pem }`
JWKS fetched from a fixed endpoint.
- `type: "explicit_url"`
- `"explicit_url"`
- `url: string`
JWKS endpoint.
- `ca_cert_pem: optional string or null`
Optional custom CA (PEM) for TLS verification of the JWKS fetch.
- `Inline object { keys, type }`
JWKS supplied directly; no network fetch.
- `keys: array of map[unknown]`
Inline JWK objects.
- `type: "inline"`
- `"inline"`
- `jwks_polling_disabled_at: string or null`
If set, Anthropic's JWKS poller has paused polling for this issuer after repeated fetch failures. Re-enable by sending `jwks_polling_disabled: false` via the issuer update endpoint (POST) once the upstream JWKS endpoint is fixed. An OAuth caller cannot send this when the issuer backs a rule with any scope other than `workspace:developer` or `workspace:inference`; use a Console session.
- `max_jwt_lifetime_seconds: number`
Maximum allowed iat→exp spread for assertions from this issuer (1-176400 seconds, i.e. up to 49h). Assertions must carry both `iat` and `exp`; a missing `iat` is rejected.
- `name: string`
Admin-chosen slug identifier.
- `poll_status: object { consecutive_failures, last_fetched_at, next_poll_at } or null`
Status of automatic JWKS polling for a federation issuer.
Anthropic periodically fetches the issuer's signing keys in the
background. These fields summarize the most recent fetches so the
health of the JWKS endpoint can be monitored.
- `consecutive_failures: number`
Consecutive fetch failures since the last success.
- `last_fetched_at: string or null`
When the last successful fetch completed.
- `next_poll_at: string or null`
When the next fetch is scheduled. Null if paused.
- `type: "federation_issuer"`
- `"federation_issuer"`
- `updated_at: string`
When this issuer was last updated.
- `updated_by_actor_id: string or null`
Tagged ID (`user_`/`svac_`) of the actor that last updated this issuer.
