# Update Federation Issuer

`beta.organization.federation.issuers.update(federation_issuer_id, **kwargs) -> BetaFederationIssuer`

**POST** `/v1/organizations/federation_issuers/{federation_issuer_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=ruby).

Partially update a federation issuer.

Setting `jwks` replaces the full JWKS shape at once. Archived issuers
cannot be updated; this returns 400. Create a new issuer instead.

Updating an issuer that backs a rule with a scope outside
`workspace:developer` or `workspace:inference` requires a Console
session.

## Parameters

- `federation_issuer_id: String` (path parameter)

  ID of the federation issuer to update.

- `check_jti: bool`

  Whether the jwt-bearer exchange enforces JTI single-use (replay protection) for tokens from this issuer. Applies only to assertions carrying a `jti` claim; tokens without one are accepted without single-use enforcement.

- `issuer_url: String`

  Replaces the `iss` claim value to match against. For discovery-mode issuers without a `discovery_base`, this is also the URL Anthropic fetches the OIDC discovery document and signing keys from, so changing it repoints the JWKS source. Changing the issuer URL to a well-known shared platform is rejected while any live rule under this issuer would not constrain tenant identity.

  minLength: 1

- `jwks: BetaJWKSDiscovery | BetaJWKSExplicitURL | BetaJWKSInline`

  Replaces the entire JWKS configuration.

  - `class BetaJWKSDiscovery`

    JWKS via the issuer's OIDC discovery document.

    - `type: :discovery`

    - `ca_cert_pem: String`

      Optional custom CA (PEM) for TLS verification of the JWKS fetch.

      maxLength: 8192

    - `discovery_base: String`

      Set when the discovery URL differs from `issuer_url`.

  - `class BetaJWKSExplicitURL`

    JWKS fetched from a fixed endpoint.

    - `type: :explicit_url`

    - `url: String`

      JWKS endpoint.

      minLength: 1

    - `ca_cert_pem: String`

      Optional custom CA (PEM) for TLS verification of the JWKS fetch.

      maxLength: 8192

  - `class BetaJWKSInline`

    JWKS supplied directly; no network fetch.

    - `type: :inline`

    - `keys: Array[Hash[Symbol, untyped]]`

      Inline JWK objects.

      minItems: 1

- `jwks_polling_disabled: bool`

  Only `false` is accepted, to re-enable polling after the system pauses it. Polling is paused automatically; sending `true` is rejected.

- `max_jwt_lifetime_seconds: Integer`

  Maximum allowed iat→exp spread for assertions from this issuer (1-176400 seconds, i.e. up to 49h). Assertions must carry both `iat` and `exp`; a missing `iat` is rejected.

  minimum: 1, maximum: 176400

- `name: String`

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

  minLength: 1, maxLength: 255

- `betas: Array[AnthropicBeta]` (header parameter)

  Optional header to specify the beta version(s) you want to use.

## Returns
