Create Service Account

POST/v1/organizations/service_accounts

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. Requires an OAuth bearer (user or WIF-minted service account token) or a Console session; Admin API keys are not accepted. 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.

Headers

"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

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

Optional free-text description.

organization_role: optional "admin" or "developer"

Org-level role. Defaults to developer.

Returns

ServiceAccount object{ id, archived_at, archived_by_actor_id, 8 more }

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