- `workspace_id: String` (header parameter)

  Optional header to select the Workspace for this request. The value is a Workspace ID (for example, `wrkspc_011CZkZaBF1tNoB5wlCeusgy`).

  Only needed for credentials that can act on more than one Workspace. A credential that belongs to a specific Workspace may omit it; if sent, it must match that Workspace.

## Returns

- `class BetaUserProfile`

  A record of an entity that the platform serves through the API, such as an end-user of the platform's product or a company that the platform resells Claude access to.

  A Messages, Message Batches or token counting request can send a profile's `id` in the `anthropic-user-profile-id` header to attribute the request to that entity.

  - `type: :user_profile`

    Object type. Always `user_profile`.

  - `id: String`

    Unique identifier for this user profile, prefixed `uprof_`.

  - `created_at: Time`

    When this user profile was created, in RFC 3339 format.

    format: date-time

  - `metadata: Hash[Symbol, String]`

    Arbitrary key-value metadata. Maximum 16 pairs, keys up to 64 chars, values up to 512 chars.

  - `trust_grants: Hash[Symbol, BetaUserProfileTrustGrant]`

    Trust grants for this profile, keyed by grant name. Key omitted when no grant is active or in flight.

    - `status: :active | :pending | :rejected`

      Status of the trust grant.

      - `:active`

      - `:pending`

      - `:rejected`

  - `updated_at: Time`

    When this user profile was last modified, in RFC 3339 format. Trust-grant status changes also bump this timestamp.

    format: date-time

  - `access_type: :application | :passthrough`

    How the platform uses the API for this entity: `application` (default) or `passthrough`. Present under the `user-profiles-2026-08-18` and later beta headers.

    - `:application`

      The user profile represents an individual end-user of a product that the platform builds on the API. New profiles get this value by default.

    - `:passthrough`

      The user profile represents a company that the platform resells Claude access to.

  - `external_id: String`

    Platform's own identifier for this user. Not enforced unique. Present under the `user-profiles-2026-03-24` and `user-profiles-2026-08-18` beta headers; under `user-profiles-2026-09-04` the value is `external_user_details.reference_id`.

  - `external_user_details: BetaUserProfileExternalUserDetails`

    Details about the entity this profile represents, as the platform states them; not verified by Anthropic. Present under the `user-profiles-2026-09-04` beta header, with every field present and `null` until the platform supplies a value; the earlier beta headers serve `reference_id` as the top-level `external_id`, and `user-profiles-2026-08-18` serves `onboarded_at` as `external_user_onboarded_at`.

    - `account_status: :active | :suspended | :blocked`

      The status of the entity's account on the platform: `active`, `suspended` or `blocked`. `null` until the platform supplies one.

      - `:active`

        The platform has neither restricted nor barred the account of the entity that the user profile represents.

      - `:suspended`

        The platform has restricted the account of the entity that the user profile represents and may restore it.

      - `:blocked`

        The platform has barred the account of the entity that the user profile represents.

    - `country: String`

      The country the platform associates with the entity, as an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code. `null` until the platform supplies one.

    - `email_hash: String`

      The platform-computed hash of the entity's email address. `null` until the platform supplies one.

    - `entity_type: :individual | :business | :non_profit | :government`

      What kind of entity the profile represents: `individual`, `business`, `non_profit` or `government`. `null` until the platform supplies one.

      - `:individual`

      - `:business`

      - `:non_profit`

      - `:government`

    - `name_hash: String`

      The platform-computed hash of the entity's name. `null` until the platform supplies one.

    - `onboarded_at: Time`

      When the entity opened its account with the platform, as stated by the platform, in RFC 3339 format (UTC). `null` until the platform supplies one.

      format: date-time

    - `reference_id: String`

      The platform's own reference for the entity. `null` until the platform supplies one.

  - `external_user_onboarded_at: Time`

    When the entity this profile represents opened its account with the platform, as stated by the platform, in RFC 3339 format (UTC). `null` until the platform supplies one. Present under the `user-profiles-2026-08-18` beta header; under `user-profiles-2026-09-04` the value is `external_user_details.onboarded_at`.

    format: date-time

  - `name: String`

    Real-world name of the entity this profile represents (company or individual). For a company the platform resells Claude access to (`access_type` `passthrough`) this is that company's name.
