Inrupt ESS Platform Management API is one of 6 APIs that [Inrupt](https://apis.io/providers/inrupt/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Provisioning, Administration, Token Exchange, and Identity. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

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.
