About the Admin Config Service (ACS) API
The Admin Config Service (ACS) is a cloud-native API that provides programmatic self-service administration capabilities for Splunk Cloud Platform. Splunk Cloud Platform administrators can use the ACS API to perform common administrative tasks without assistance from Splunk Support.
The ACS API lets you:
- Configure IP allow lists
- Configure outbound ports
- Manage authentication tokens
- Manage HTTP Event Collector (HEC) tokens
- Manage indexes
- Manage limits.conf configurations
- Manage private apps and add-ons
- Manage Splunkbase apps
- Manage users, roles, and capabilities
- Enable private connectivity
- View maintenance windows
- Manage restarts
A role must hold the required capabilities to access ACS ACI endpoints. The sc_admin
(Splunk Cloud Platform Administrator) holds all required capabilities by default.
