# Create Service Account Workspace Member

`client.Organization.Workspaces.ServiceAccounts.Add(ctx, workspaceID, body) (*ServiceAccountWorkspaceMember, error)`

**POST** `/v1/organizations/workspaces/{workspace_id}/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](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/wif-admin-api?sdk_languages=go).

Add a service account to a workspace with the given `workspace_role`.

The role determines what the service account can do in the workspace and
which workspace-scoped permissions it can be granted when authenticating
through federation. Every service account is already an implicit
`workspace_user` member of the default workspace; adding it explicitly
assigns a chosen role. If the service account is already an explicit
member of the workspace, its `workspace_role` is replaced with the
value supplied here. Archived workspaces return 400. Archived service
accounts cannot be added and are rejected.

## Parameters

- `workspaceID string` (path parameter)

  ID of the workspace.

- `body OrganizationWorkspaceServiceAccountAddParams`

  - `ServiceAccountID string`

    Tagged service account ID to add.

  - `WorkspaceRole NoBillingWorkspaceRole`

    Role to assign to 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"`

## Example

```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.Add(
		context.TODO(),
		"workspace_id",
		anthropic.OrganizationWorkspaceServiceAccountAddParams{
			ServiceAccountID: "service_account_id",
			WorkspaceRole:    anthropic.NoBillingWorkspaceRoleWorkspaceAdmin,
		},
	)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err.Error())
	}
	fmt.Printf("%+v\n", serviceAccountWorkspaceMember.CreatedByActorID)
}
```
