Create Service Account

beta.organization.service_accounts.create(**kwargs) -> BetaServiceAccount

POST/v1/organizations/service_accounts

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.

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. 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.

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

Returns

class BetaServiceAccount { id, archived_at, archived_by_actor_id, 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).
