Update Service Account

POST/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.

Update a service account.

Only description and organization_role are mutable; name cannot be changed. Archived service accounts cannot be updated; this returns 400. Setting organization_role to admin (even when unchanged) requires an interactive credential (a user OAuth token or a Console session).

Path parameters

service_account_id: string

ID of the service account to update.

Body

description: optional string or null

Replaces the description. Omit to leave unchanged; send null to clear (the field is stored as an empty string).

maxLength2000

organization_role: optional "admin" or "developer" or null

Replaces the org-level role. Omit or send null to leave unchanged.

One of the following:

"admin"

"developer"

Returns

ServiceAccount object{ type: "service_account", id, archived_at, 8 more }

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).
