# API Administrator rules

When the API Administrator feature is active on your workspace, you will see new admin rules options in the Settings. 

{% hint style="info" %}
If you want to use the API Administrator feature but it is not available on your workspace yet, please contact our support or an account manager.
{% endhint %}

### Master Administration rule

This is the quorum of human administrators (it cannot include an API Administrator). It works the same way whether the API Administrator feature is active or not.&#x20;

For more information, please look at the ["Edit the admin rule"](/core/workspace-administration/admin-rule/edit-the-admin-rule.md) article.

### API Admin rules

These rules are made to grant rights to API Administrators so they can execute specific tasks.&#x20;

In order to add an API Administrator here, please follow these steps:

1. Invite an API Administrator on your workspace.
2. Register the API Administrator thanks to their keys.

{% hint style="info" %}
Please follow the [Register a new API User](https://help.vault.ledger.com/api-documentation/tutorials/first-steps-as-an-api-user) guide to complete these steps.
{% endhint %}

Once this is done, a human administrator can then edit an API Admin rule to add the API Administrator to it.&#x20;

<details>

<summary>Create account with policy</summary>

The API Administrator will be able to create accounts that using a policy (a set of rules that is common to multiple accounts). They will be able to make two types of requests:

* Create account with policy
* Approve a request to create an account with policy

{% hint style="info" %}
See the ["Policies"](/core/workspace-administration/policies.md) section to understand how to create a policy.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
See the ["Create an account"](https://help.vault.ledger.com/api-documentation/tutorials/api-administrator/first-steps-as-an-api-user) API guide to understand how to create accounts with a policy via API.
{% endhint %}

</details>

When an API Admin rule is updated, the change must be validated by the Master Administration quorum.&#x20;

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.enterprise.ledger.com/core/workspace-administration/admin-rule/api-administrator-rules.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
