# Create Service Account Workspace Member

`ServiceAccountWorkspaceMember organization().workspaces().serviceAccounts().add(params, requestOptions = RequestOptions.none())`

**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=java).

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

- `ServiceAccountAddParams params`

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

    ID of the workspace.

  - `String serviceAccountId`

    Tagged service account ID to add.

  - `NoBillingWorkspaceRole workspaceRole`

    Role to assign to the service account in this workspace.

## Returns

- `class ServiceAccountWorkspaceMember`

  - `JsonValue type = "service_account_workspace_member"`

  - `Optional<String> createdByActorId`

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

  - `Optional<Boolean> implicit`

    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.

  - `String serviceAccountId`

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

  - `String workspaceId`

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

  - `WorkspaceRole workspaceRole`

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

    - `WORKSPACE_ADMIN("workspace_admin")`

    - `WORKSPACE_BILLING("workspace_billing")`

    - `WORKSPACE_DEVELOPER("workspace_developer")`

    - `WORKSPACE_RESTRICTED_DEVELOPER("workspace_restricted_developer")`

    - `WORKSPACE_USER("workspace_user")`

## Example

```java
package com.anthropic.example;

import com.anthropic.client.AnthropicClient;
import com.anthropic.client.okhttp.AnthropicOkHttpClient;
import com.anthropic.models.organization.serviceaccounts.ServiceAccountWorkspaceMember;
import com.anthropic.models.organization.workspaces.NoBillingWorkspaceRole;
import com.anthropic.models.organization.workspaces.serviceaccounts.ServiceAccountAddParams;

public final class Main {
    private Main() {}

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

        ServiceAccountAddParams params = ServiceAccountAddParams.builder()
            .workspaceId("workspace_id")
            .serviceAccountId("service_account_id")
            .workspaceRole(NoBillingWorkspaceRole.WORKSPACE_ADMIN)
            .build();
        ServiceAccountWorkspaceMember serviceAccountWorkspaceMember = client.organization().workspaces().serviceAccounts().add(params);
    }
}
```
