Inrupt ESS Platform Management API

The Platform Management service hosts the ESS Admin API used to provision users before they first log in — creating a provisioning account, attaching a WebID and a storage container, setting identity mappings, then activating the account and transferring ownership to the end user — plus self-service /user/account endpoints and the OAuth 2.0 token-exchange endpoint (RFC 8693) that turns an external IdP id_token into an ESS Access Token. Access to the Admin API is restricted to Service Accounts.
