# GET /private/set_member

`GET /private/set_member`

Creates a new Direct Access member, or edits an existing one. Returns the resulting list of all
members configured for the account.

This method is dedicated to Starbase. See [Starbase Account Model](https://docs.deribit.com/starbase/account-model)
for an explanation of Members, portfolios, and their relationship to Deribit accounts.

Omit `member_id` to create a new member; a non-empty `accounts` list is then required, and the
member cannot be created inactive. Pass an existing `member_id` to edit that member's `name` or
`accounts` list, or to toggle its `is_active` state — toggling `is_active` and changing
`name`/`accounts` cannot be done in the same request.

Requires Direct Access trading to be enabled for the account.

**Scope:** `account:read_write` and mainaccount
