# Update Service Account Workspace Member

`BetaServiceAccountWorkspaceMember beta().organization().workspaces().serviceAccounts().update(params, requestOptions = RequestOptions.none())`

**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=java).

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

- `ServiceAccountUpdateParams params`

  - `String workspaceId` (path parameter)

    ID of the workspace.

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

    ID of the service account.

  - `Optional<List<AnthropicBeta>> betas` (header parameter)

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

  - `String workspaceId`

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