# Archive Service Account

`$client->organization->serviceAccounts->archive(string serviceAccountID): ServiceAccount`

**POST** `/v1/organizations/service_accounts/{service_account_id}/archive`

**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=php).

Archive a service account.

Idempotent; re-archiving returns the service account with its original
`archived_at`. Rejected with 400 if any live (non-archived) federation
rule still targets this service account, same as issuer archival; archive
those rules first or change their target to another service account.

## Parameters

- `serviceAccountID: string` (path parameter)

  ID of the service account to archive.

## Returns

- `class ServiceAccount`

  - `"service_account" type`

  - `string id`

    Tagged ID of the service account.

  - `?\Datetime archivedAt`

    If set, this service account is archived.

  - `?string archivedByActorID`

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

  - `\Datetime createdAt`

    When this service account was created.

  - `?string createdByActorID`

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

  - `?string description`

    Optional free-text description.

  - `string name`

    Admin-chosen slug identifier.

  - `OrganizationRole organizationRole`

    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.

  - `\Datetime updatedAt`

    When this service account was last updated.

  - `?string updatedByActorID`

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

## Example

```php
<?php

require_once dirname(__DIR__) . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use Anthropic\Client;

$client = new Client(apiKey: 'my-anthropic-api-key');

$serviceAccount = $client->organization->serviceAccounts->archive(
  'service_account_id'
);

var_dump($serviceAccount);
```
