# Update an Account Capability

Updates an existing Account Capability. Request or remove a capability by updating its `requested` parameter.

## Returns

Returns an Account Capability object.

## Parameters

- `preview` (boolean, optional)
  Passing true assigns the preview onboarding policy to the capability.

- `requested` (boolean, optional)
  To request a new capability for an account, pass true. There can be a delay before the requested capability becomes active. If the capability has any activation requirements, the response includes them in the `requirements` arrays.

  If a capability isn’t permanent, you can remove it from the account by passing false. Some capabilities are permanent after they’ve been requested. Attempting to remove a permanent capability returns an error.
