Content Management API

The Content Management API is an integration point for cloud management platforms and end-user applications. The Management API is purely administrative: it makes available actions for provisioning and managing storage tenants, domains, and other aspects of the Swarm cloud storage infrastructure using the same authentication and access control policy mechanism used within the Storage API.

The Management API is implemented as an HTTP/1.1 REST interface that is separate from the SCSP and S3 storage interfaces and is available for every user who can access the system. It works by overlaying the storage API namespace at the /_admin/manage/ URI prefix.
