# Archive Service Account

`ServiceAccount organization().serviceAccounts().archive(params = ServiceAccountArchiveParams.none(), requestOptions = RequestOptions.none())`

**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=java).

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

- `ServiceAccountArchiveParams params`

  - `Optional<String> serviceAccountId` (path parameter)

    ID of the service account to archive.

## Returns

- `class ServiceAccount`

  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).

  - `JsonValue type = "service_account"`

  - `String id`

    Tagged ID of the service account.

  - `Optional<LocalDateTime> archivedAt`

    If set, this service account is archived.

    format: date-time

  - `Optional<String> archivedByActorId`

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

  - `LocalDateTime createdAt`

    When this service account was created.

    format: date-time

  - `Optional<String> createdByActorId`

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

  - `Optional<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.

    - `ADMIN("admin")`

    - `DEVELOPER("developer")`

  - `LocalDateTime updatedAt`

    When this service account was last updated.

    format: date-time

  - `Optional<String> updatedByActorId`

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

## Example

```java
package com.anthropic.example;

import com.anthropic.client.AnthropicClient;
import com.anthropic.client.okhttp.AnthropicOkHttpClient;
import com.anthropic.models.organization.serviceaccounts.ServiceAccount;
import com.anthropic.models.organization.serviceaccounts.ServiceAccountArchiveParams;

public final class Main {
    private Main() {}

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        AnthropicClient client = AnthropicOkHttpClient.fromEnv();

        ServiceAccount serviceAccount = client.organization().serviceAccounts().archive("service_account_id");
    }
}
```
