# Get Service Account Workspace Member

`$ ant organization:workspaces:service-accounts retrieve`

**GET** `/v1/organizations/workspaces/{workspace_id}/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=cli).

Retrieve a service account's membership in a workspace.

Returns the membership record, including the service account's
`workspace_role` in this workspace. Archived workspaces return 400. For
the default workspace, returns the implicit (`implicit: true`)
membership when no explicit membership exists; an explicitly added
membership is returned with its assigned role. An archived service
account returns 404.

## Parameters

- `--workspace-id: string` (path parameter)

  ID of the workspace.

- `--service-account-id: string` (path parameter)

  ID of the service account.

## Returns

- `service_account_workspace_member: object`

  - `type: "service_account_workspace_member"`

  - `created_by_actor_id: string`

    Tagged ID (`user_...`/`svac_...`) of the actor who created this membership.

  - `implicit: boolean`

    True when this is the implicit default-workspace membership every service account has when no explicit membership exists. Implicit memberships have role `workspace_user` and cannot be removed.

  - `service_account_id: string`

    Tagged service account ID (`svac_...`).

  - `workspace_id: string`

    Tagged workspace ID (`wrkspc_...`).

  - `workspace_role: "workspace_admin" or "workspace_billing" or "workspace_developer" or 2 more`

    Role of the service account in this workspace. Service accounts cannot hold the `workspace_billing` role.

    - `"workspace_admin"`

    - `"workspace_billing"`

    - `"workspace_developer"`

    - `"workspace_restricted_developer"`

    - `"workspace_user"`

## Example

```bash
ant organization:workspaces:service-accounts retrieve \
  --api-key my-anthropic-api-key \
