> In order to access the admin API endpoints you need to identify yourself. You'll need to [create an ADMIN token](/user_guide/api-token) and add an Authorization header using the token.

**Available since Unleash v4.3**

In this document we will guide you on how you can work with feature toggles and their configuration. Please remember the following details:

- All feature toggles exists _inside a project_.
- A feature toggle exists _across all environments_.
- A feature toggle can take different configuration, activation strategies, per environment.


> We will in this guide use [HTTPie](https://httpie.io) commands to show examples on how to interact with the API.

### Get Project Overview {#fetching-project}

`http://localhost:4242/api/admin/projects/:projectId`

This endpoint will give you an general overview of a project. It will return essential details about a project, in addition it will return all feature toggles and high level environment details per feature toggle.

**Example Query**

```bash
http GET http://localhost:4242/api/admin/projects/default Authorization:$KEY
```



**Example response:**

```json
{
  "description": "Default project",
  "features": [
    {
      "createdAt": "2021-08-31T08:00:33.335Z",
      "environments": [
        {
          "displayName": "Development",
          "enabled": false,
          "name": "development"
        },
        {
          "displayName": "Production",
          "enabled": false,
          "name": "production"
        }
      ],
      "lastSeenAt": null,
      "name": "demo",
      "stale": false,
      "type": "release"
    },
    {
      "createdAt": "2021-08-31T09:43:13.686Z",
      "environments": [
        {
          "displayName": "Development",
          "enabled": false,
          "name": "development"
        },
        {
          "displayName": "Production",
          "enabled": false,
          "name": "production"
        }
      ],
      "lastSeenAt": null,
      "name": "demo.test",
      "stale": false,
      "type": "release"
    }
  ],
  "health": 100,
  "members": 2,
  "name": "Default",

## Feature Variants

### Put variants for Feature Toggle {#update-variants}

This overwrites the current variants for the feature toggle specified in the :featureName parameter.
The backend will validate the input for the following invariants

* If there are variants, there needs to be at least one variant with `weightType: variable`
* The sum of the weights of variants with `weightType: fix` must be below 1000 (< 1000)

The backend will also distribute remaining weight up to 1000 after adding the variants with `weightType: fix` together amongst the variants of `weightType: variable`

**Example Query**
```bash
echo '[
	{
		"name": "variant1",
		"weightType": "fix",
		"weight": 650
	},
	{
		"name": "variant2",
		"weightType": "variable",

## Manage project users and roles

You can add and remove users to a project using the `/api/admin/projects/:projectId/users/:userId/roles/:roleId` endpoint. When adding or removing users, you must also provide the ID for the role to give them (when adding) or the ID of the role they currently have (when removing).

### Add a user to a project

``` http
POST /api/admin/projects/:projectId/users/:userId/roles/:roleId
```

This will add a user to a project and give the user a specified role within that project.

#### URL parameters

| Parameter   | Type    | Description                                                           | Example value     |
|-------------|---------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------|
| `userId`    | integer | The ID of the user you want to add to the project.                    | `1`               |
| `projectId` | string  | The id of the project to add the user to.                             | `"MyCoolProject"` |

#### Responses

<details>
<summary>Responses data</summary>

##### 200 OK

The user was added to the project with the specified role. This response has no body.

##### 400 Bad Request

The user already exists in the project and cannot be added again:

``` json
[
  {
    "msg": "User already has access to project=<projectId>"
  }
]
```

</details>

#### Example query

The following query would add the user with ID 42 to the _MyCoolProject_ project and give them the role with ID 13.

```bash
http POST \
http://localhost:4242/api/admin/projects/MyCoolProject/users/42/roles/13 \
Authorization:$KEY
```

### Change a user's role in a project

``` http
PUT /api/admin/projects/:projectId/users/:userId/roles/:roleId
```

This will change the user's project role to the role specified by `:roleId`. If the user has not been added to the project, nothing happens.

:::caution
If you provide the wrong role id for the user, but there is another user in the same project with the role you provided, you'll get a 200 OK response indicating success, but the user will not be removed.
:::

##### 200 OK

The user has been removed from the project. This response has no body.

##### 400 Bad Request

No user with the current role exists in the project:


``` json
[
  {
    "msg": "Couldn't find roleId=<roleId> on project=<projectId>"
  }
]
```

You tried to remove the only user with the role `owner` in the project:

``` json
[
  {
    "msg": "A project must have at least one owner."
  }
]
```
