Activate a ServiceAccount

post

https://api.wingspan.app/v3/platform/service-accounts/{serviceAccountId}/activate

Transition a Created ServiceAccount to Active. Most callers will not invoke this directly — POST /platform/service-accounts returns the ServiceAccount in Created so scope grants can be reviewed before activation. Idempotent on already-Active ServiceAccounts. Disabled ServiceAccounts cannot be activated; create a new record. If you call with a person's login session, this needs a recent MFA step-up (ApiKeyChange). A backend calling with an API key has no session to step up.

Requires a session with recent MFA step-up for ApiKeyChange. If step-up is missing or expired, this operation returns 403 StepUpMfaRequired; create and verify an MFA challenge at /v3/platform/mfa-challenges with requiredFor: "ApiKeyChange", then retry.

Path Params

serviceAccountId

string

required

Unique identifier of a ServiceAccount.

Headers

Idempotency-Key

string

length between 1 and 255

^[\x21-\x7e]{1,255}$

Optional idempotency token for authenticated POST and PATCH requests. Reusing the same key and body returns the cached response for 24 hours, except credential operations that explicitly document a 409 because one-time secret material is never cached; reusing it with a different body returns 409 IdempotencyKeyConflict. Use 1-255 printable ASCII characters.

X-Wingspan-Account

string

^(?:[A-Za-z0-9_.]{22}|[a-f0-9]{24})$

Select the Account for an Account-scoped operation. A direct ServiceAccount API key MUST supply this header, and the target must be within the ServiceAccount owner's or Authorization grant's Account boundary. A Person bearer may select an Account on which it has an active Stakeholder, and an Account session may select its bound Account (or a descendant only when the session explicitly includes descendants).
