# Update Service Account Workspace Member

`client.Organization.Workspaces.ServiceAccounts.Update(ctx, serviceAccountID, params) (*ServiceAccountWorkspaceMember, error)`

**POST** `/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=go).

Change a service account's role in a workspace.

The new `workspace_role` replaces the current one. Only explicit
memberships can be updated; to set a role on the implicit
default-workspace membership, add the service account explicitly with
`POST /workspaces/{workspace_id}/service_accounts`. Archived workspaces
return 400. Archived service accounts cannot be updated and are
rejected.

## Parameters

- `serviceAccountID string` (path parameter)

  ID of the service account.

- `params OrganizationWorkspaceServiceAccountUpdateParams`

  - `WorkspaceID string` (path parameter)

    ID of the workspace.

  - `WorkspaceRole NoBillingWorkspaceRole`

    New role for the service account in this workspace.

## Returns

- `type ServiceAccountWorkspaceMember`

  - `Type ServiceAccountWorkspaceMember`

    default: service_account_workspace_member

  - `CreatedByActorID string`

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

  - `Implicit bool`

    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.

  - `ServiceAccountID string`

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

  - `WorkspaceID string`

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

  - `WorkspaceRole WorkspaceRole`

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

    - `const WorkspaceRoleWorkspaceAdmin WorkspaceRole = "workspace_admin"`

    - `const WorkspaceRoleWorkspaceBilling WorkspaceRole = "workspace_billing"`

    - `const WorkspaceRoleWorkspaceDeveloper WorkspaceRole = "workspace_developer"`

    - `const WorkspaceRoleWorkspaceRestrictedDeveloper WorkspaceRole = "workspace_restricted_developer"`

    - `const WorkspaceRoleWorkspaceUser WorkspaceRole = "workspace_user"`

```go
package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"

	"github.com/anthropics/anthropic-sdk-go"
	"github.com/anthropics/anthropic-sdk-go/option"
)

func main() {
	client := anthropic.NewClient(
		option.WithAPIKey("my-anthropic-api-key"),
	)
	serviceAccountWorkspaceMember, err := client.Organization.Workspaces.ServiceAccounts.Update(
		context.TODO(),
		"service_account_id",
		anthropic.OrganizationWorkspaceServiceAccountUpdateParams{
			WorkspaceID:   "workspace_id",
			WorkspaceRole: anthropic.NoBillingWorkspaceRoleWorkspaceAdmin,
		},
	)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err.Error())
	}
	fmt.Printf("%+v\n", serviceAccountWorkspaceMember.CreatedByActorID)
}
```
