This Admin API design document is in draft status and evolving as informed by the Ed-Fi community.

Overview

Implementers of Ed-Fi technology have signaled the need for an administrative API (Admin API) to automate functions such as key/secret management, application management and other key functions.  Automated deployments are becoming more of a trend throughout Ed-Fi technology stack deployments.  An Admin API would enable implementers to automate functions that require manual efforts today.

Use Cases

The Admin API will be called programmatically within automated deployment environments.  A knowledgeable person or team of people with IT administrative functions will be responsible for the configuration, usage and security of the Admin API.  The Admin API will automate functions currently done today via custom scripting and/or human intervention via a user-interface, such as the  Admin App or other management interfaces.
