# Manage DEA records for a practitioner

`PUT /practitioners/{id}/dea`

Updates, creates, or deletes DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) registration records for the specified practitioner; supply an array of DEA record items where each item includes an `action` field indicating the operation to perform (`create`, `update`, or `delete`). Use this to manage a practitioner's DEA registrations — for example, when a new registration is issued, an existing registration expires or changes, or a registration is revoked; DEA registrations govern controlled-substance prescribing authority. `{id}` is the `certifyPractitionerId`. Submitting an empty array wholesale-clears the entire DEA-records section with no confirmation step — there is no null/empty guard on this endpoint.
