# Get Service Account

`client.Organization.ServiceAccounts.Get(ctx, serviceAccountID) (*ServiceAccount, error)`

**GET** `/v1/organizations/service_accounts/{service_account_id}`

**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](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/wif-admin-api?sdk_languages=go).

Retrieve a service account by its ID (`svac_...`).

## Parameters

- `serviceAccountID string` (path parameter)

  ID of the service account.

## Returns

- `type ServiceAccount`

  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).

  - `Type ServiceAccount`

    default: service_account

  - `ID string`

    Tagged ID of the service account.

  - `ArchivedAt Time`

    If set, this service account is archived.

    format: date-time

  - `ArchivedByActorID string`

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

  - `CreatedAt Time`

    When this service account was created.

    format: date-time

  - `CreatedByActorID string`

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

  - `Description string`

    Optional free-text description.

  - `Name string`

    Admin-chosen slug identifier.

  - `OrganizationRole ServiceAccountOrganizationRole`

    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.

    - `const ServiceAccountOrganizationRoleAdmin ServiceAccountOrganizationRole = "admin"`

    - `const ServiceAccountOrganizationRoleDeveloper ServiceAccountOrganizationRole = "developer"`

  - `UpdatedAt Time`

    When this service account was last updated.

    format: date-time

  - `UpdatedByActorID string`

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

## Example

```go
package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"

	"github.com/anthropics/anthropic-sdk-go"
	"github.com/anthropics/anthropic-sdk-go/option"
)

func main() {
	client := anthropic.NewClient(
		option.WithAPIKey("my-anthropic-api-key"),
	)
	serviceAccount, err := client.Organization.ServiceAccounts.Get(context.TODO(), "service_account_id")
	if err != nil {
		panic(err.Error())
	}
	fmt.Printf("%+v\n", serviceAccount.ID)
}
```
