Administration operations

An administrative Application Programming Interface (API) request will be done on a URI that starts with the configurable admin resource entry point. Authorization for the administrative API duplicates the S3 authorization mechanism.

Some operations require that the user holds special administrative capabilities. The response entity type, either XML or JSON, might be specified as the format option in the request and defaults to JSON if not specified.

Example

PUT /admin/user?caps&format=json HTTP/1.1
Host: FULLY_QUALIFIED_DOMAIN_NAME
Content-Type: text/plain
Authorization: AUTHORIZATION_TOKEN
