Automate Enterprise User Management with the Admin API

Automate user onboarding and group permissions for large-scale enterprise deployments.

Use the Claude Admin API to programmatically manage Enterprise organization members, roles, and groups instead of manual dashboard clicks.

Claude

The Scenario

Your company is onboarding a new department of 50 people to Claude Enterprise and you need to assign them to specific groups and roles based on their job titles.

Before & after

The old way

Admins had to manually invite users, change roles, and manage groups through the web dashboard one by one. For a 100-person organization, this could take 2-3 hours of tedious clicking.

With AI

Use the Claude Admin API to programmatically list, add, or remove members and manage group permissions. This takes 2-3 minutes to set up an automation script.

The Prompt

# Example header for group management
# anthropic-beta: ce-user-management-2026-07-13

# Prompt to help write the script:
"Help me write a Python script using the Claude Admin API to list all members of my organization and flag any that do not have a company email address ending in @[COMPANY_DOMAIN].com."

The new Admin API (using the beta header) allows Enterprise customers to integrate user management into their own internal HR portals or onboarding scripts.
