Dashboard Administration
Last updated: 1 minute read.
The Tyk Dashboard Admin API provides the following administrator level functions:
- managing organizations
- creating initial users during boot-strapping of the system
- forcing a URL reload
- exporting and importing Tyk assets (orgs, APIs, policies) for backup or when migrating between environments
- setting up SSO integration
Accessing the Dashboard Admin API
The Tyk Dashboard Admin API is secured using a shared secret that is set in the tyk_analytics.conf file. Calls to the Admin API require the admin-auth header to be provided, to differentiate the call from a regular Dashboard API call.
