Automate Team Onboarding with the Claude Admin API

Manage Claude Enterprise users programmatically via the Admin API.

Use the new Admin API to automate user management tasks like inviting members, changing roles, and managing group memberships.

Claude

The Scenario

Your organization is onboarding a new department of 50 people to Claude Enterprise and needs to assign them to specific groups and custom roles at scale.

Before & after

The old way

An administrator manually invites, removes, or promotes users one by one through the web dashboard, which can take 30–45 minutes for a large team.

With AI

By using the Claude Admin API, you can script membership changes or group assignments, completing bulk updates in approximately 2 minutes.

The Prompt

Using the Claude Admin API with the 'anthropic-beta: ce-user-management-2026-07-13' header, write a script to look up a list of members by email and change their role to [INSERT_ROLE_NAME].
