# Introduction to the Administration API

> Programmatic access to manage your Medera Console account

The Medera Administration API exposes programmatic management for your Console account — projects, customers, users, usage, and quotas.

<Warning>
  The Admin API requires a dedicated admin client credential, separate from your application credentials. Admin keys carry tenant-wide privileges and should be stored in a hardened secret store.
</Warning>

## Capabilities

| Resource            | Operations                                      |
| :------------------ | :---------------------------------------------- |
| Customers (tenants) | Create, update, delete, list, get quotas        |
| Users               | Create, update, delete, list, usage consumption |
| Projects            | Get quotas across all tenants                   |
| Auth                | Authenticate as an admin user                   |

## Endpoints

See the [Admin API reference](/api-reference/welcome) for full schema.

## Authentication

Admin endpoints use a separate `admin.medera.info/oauth/token` issuer with audience `admin.medera.info`.

Tokens are short-lived (15 minutes) and must be refreshed.
