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
• Enable private connectivity
• Export apps
• Manage app permissions
• Manage authentication tokens
• Manage DDSS self storage locations
• Manage HTTP Event Collector (HEC) tokens
• Manage indexes
• Manage limits.conf configurations
• Manage maintenance windows
• Manage maintenance window change freeze
• Manage private apps and add-ons
• Manage restarts
• Manage Splunkbase apps
• Manage users, roles, and capabilities
• Provision Enterprise Managed Encryption Keys (EMEK)
• Retry failed operations
• Set up Unified Identity with Single Sign On for Splunk Observability Cloud

Splunk Cloud Platform supports a Terraform Provider for ACS API operations, including IP allow lists, HEC tokens, indexes, users and roles. You can use the Terraform Provider to manage your infrastructure as code. To access the Splunk Cloud Platform Terraform Provider (terraform-provider-scp), see the Terraform registry.
