# Create Federation Rule

POST /v1/organizations/federation_rules

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.

Create a federation rule owned by your organization.

The referenced issuer and the target service account must already exist in the same organization; invalid references are rejected with a 400 error. The workspace reference is validated. Membership is not checked at rule creation: token exchange resolves a single enabled workspace per call and is rejected unless the target service account is a member of that workspace (it is implicitly a member of the default workspace). Rules on well-known shared issuers (GitHub Actions, GitLab, Buildkite, Terraform Cloud, Google) must constrain tenant identity via an identity-bearing claim, a tenant-pinning subject prefix (such as repo:YOUR_ORG/...), or a CEL condition referencing one of those identity claims (e.g. claims.repository_owner). OAuth callers may only manage rules whose oauth_scope is workspace:developer or workspace:inference; other scopes require a Console session.

# Body parameters

issuer_id: string

Tagged ID of the federation issuer.
match: BetaFederationRuleMatch

Conditions the verified JWT must satisfy for this rule to apply. At least one of subject_prefix (other than a wildcard-only value like *), claims, or condition is required; audience alone is not sufficient.
- audience: optional string or null
  
  Exact match against the aud claim (any element if array). When omitted, the JWT's aud must still equal Anthropic's expected audience for the issuer; setting this field overrides that default.
  
  maxLength: 1024
- claims: optional map[string] or null
  
  Exact-match {claim: value} pairs against top-level claims. Only string-valued claims can be matched; use condition for non-string claims.
- condition: optional string or null
  
  CEL expression over claims for logic the structural fields can't express. Must evaluate to a boolean and may reference only the claims variable; a constant-true expression (such as true) is rejected with 400.
  
  maxLength: 4096
- subject_prefix: optional string or null
  
  Match the verified JWT sub claim. Exact match unless the value ends with *, in which case it is a prefix match. Example: repo:my-org/my-repo:ref:refs/heads/main.
  
  maxLength: 1024
name: string

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

maxLength: 255, minLength: 1
oauth_scope: string

Space-separated OAuth scopes. OAuth callers may only set workspace:developer or workspace:inference; other scopes (such as org:admin) require a Console session.

minLength: 1
target: BetaServiceAccountTarget

Identity that tokens minted via this rule act as. Currently always a service_account target.
- type: "service_account"
- service_account_id: string
  
  Tagged ID of the service account to mint tokens for.
- service_account_name: optional string or null
  
  Service account's display name at read time. Ignored on writes.
applies_to_all_workspaces: optional boolean

When true, enable this rule for every workspace in the org (including workspaces created later).
attributes: optional map[string] or null

CEL expressions {name: expr} extracting named values from claims. Not yet supported; any non-empty value is rejected with 400.
description: optional string or null

Optional free-text description.

maxLength: 2000
token_lifetime_seconds: optional number

Lifetime in seconds for access tokens minted via this rule (60-86400). Defaults to 3600 (1h). Minted tokens are capped at max(60, min(this value, 2 × remaining assertion validity)) seconds.

maximum: 86400, minimum: 60
workspace_id: optional string or null

Tagged ID of the workspace to enable this rule for. Required unless applies_to_all_workspaces is true. Additional workspaces can be added via the /federation_rules/{federation_rule_id}/workspaces sub-resource.

# Returns

BetaFederationRule object

Authorization rule binding an external OIDC identity to Anthropic.

Evaluates the match conditions and mints an OAuth access token for the resolved target, scoped to a single workspace where the rule is enabled (chosen by the caller at exchange time when the rule is enabled for more than one). For rules enabled via workspace_ids or applies_to_all_workspaces, the target service account must be a member of that workspace (it is implicitly a member of the default workspace); rules carrying only the legacy workspace_id binding do not enforce this.
- type: "federation_rule"
  
  default: federation_rule
- id: string
  
  Tagged ID of the federation rule.
- applies_to_all_workspaces: boolean
  
  When true, this rule is enabled for every workspace in the org (including ones created after the rule). workspace_ids is ignored at exchange time.
- archived_at: string or null
  
  If set, this rule is archived and rejects token exchange.
  
  format: date-time
- archived_by_actor_id: string or null
  
  Tagged ID (user_/svac_) of the actor that archived this rule.
- attributes: map[string] or null
  
  CEL expressions extracting named values from claims. Not yet supported; always null.
- created_at: string
  
  When this rule was created.
  
  format: date-time
- created_by_actor_id: string or null
  
  Tagged ID (user_/svac_) of the actor that created this rule.
- description: string or null
  
  Optional free-text description.
- issuer_id: string
  
  Tagged ID of the issuer whose tokens this rule accepts.
- issuer_name: string or null
  
  Issuer's display name at read time.
- match: BetaFederationRuleMatch
  
  Conditions the verified JWT must satisfy for this rule to apply. All populated matcher fields must pass.
  - audience: optional string or null
    
    Exact match against the aud claim (any element if array). When omitted, the JWT's aud must still equal Anthropic's expected audience for the issuer; setting this field overrides that default.
    
    maxLength: 1024
  - claims: optional map[string] or null
    
    Exact-match {claim: value} pairs against top-level claims. Only string-valued claims can be matched; use condition for non-string claims.
  - condition: optional string or null
    
    CEL expression over claims for logic the structural fields can't express. Must evaluate to a boolean and may reference only the claims variable; a constant-true expression (such as true) is rejected with 400.
    
    maxLength: 4096
  - subject_prefix: optional string or null
    
    Match the verified JWT sub claim. Exact match unless the value ends with *, in which case it is a prefix match. Example: repo:my-org/my-repo:ref:refs/heads/main.
    
    maxLength: 1024
- name: string
  
  Admin-chosen slug identifier.
- oauth_scope: string
  
  Space-separated OAuth scopes granted on the minted token.
- target: BetaServiceAccountTarget
  
  Identity that tokens minted via this rule act as. Currently always a service_account target.
  - type: "service_account"
  - service_account_id: string
    
    Tagged ID of the service account to mint tokens for.
  - service_account_name: optional string or null
    
    Service account's display name at read time. Ignored on writes.
- token_lifetime_seconds: number
  
  Lifetime in seconds of access tokens minted via this rule. Minted tokens are capped at max(60, min(this value, 2 × remaining assertion validity)) seconds.
- updated_at: string
  
  When this rule was last updated.
  
  format: date-time
- updated_by_actor_id: string or null
  
  Tagged ID (user_/svac_) of the actor that last updated this rule.
- workspace_id: string or null
  
  Legacy single-workspace binding. Prefer workspace_ids and the /federation_rules/{federation_rule_id}/workspaces sub-resource for managing workspace enablement.
- workspace_ids: array of string
  
  Tagged IDs of the workspaces this rule is enabled for. May be empty for older rules that only carry the legacy workspace_id binding. Ignored at exchange time when applies_to_all_workspaces is true (the list may still be non-empty).
