Admin Config Service Manual

Admin Config Service (ACS) API endpoint reference

Use the ACS API endpoint reference to learn about the endpoints and operations that provide programmatic self-service administration for Splunk Cloud Platform.

You must have the sc_admin (Splunk Cloud Platform Administrator) role to use the ACS API.

For more information on ACS API requirements, see ACS requirements and compatibility matrix.

For information on ACS API setup and usage, see Basic setup and usage concepts for the ACS API.

Authentication and authorization

The ACS API requires a JSON Web Token (JWT) for authentication. You can create this token in the Splunk Cloud Platform UI or using the ACS API. For more information see Create an authentication token.

In addition, a user's role must contain the capabilities required to access the ACS API endpoint. The sc_admin role has all required capabilities by default. For more information on using Splunk Cloud Platform role-based access controls with ACS, see Manage ACS API access with capabilities.


Configure IP allowlists

The ACS API provides the following endpoints to configure IP allowlists. For more information on how to configure IP allowlists using the ACS API, see Configure IP allowlists for Splunk Cloud Platform.
