University of Texas at Austin Child Systems API is one of 21 APIs that [University of Texas at Austin](https://apis.io/providers/university-of-texas-at-austin/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Child Systems. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, and authentication docs.

A system that has *allowChildren* set to *true* allows for the creation of child systems based on it. This ability provides a way to easily clone and manage systems based on existing systems. Child systems allow a user to set only a few fields, and use all other values from an existing parent system. This can reduce the difficulty in managing systems. It allows for all child systems to be updated when the parent is updated.
