 <h1>Organization &amp; application management<a class="headerlink" href="#organization-application-management" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
 <p>Your application can use the App Services API to request a variety of
 management operations on App Services resources. For example, your
 application can request an access token to use in operations on entities
 and collections. Or it can create an organization to contain the
 applications, entities, and collections for a company, team, or project.</p>
 <p>Your application makes requests through the API using HTTP methods such
 as GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE, and specifies the pertinent resource URL.
 For management operations, the URL begins with <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">/management/</span></code>. See
 <a class="reference external" href="../getting-started/using-the-api.html">Using the API</a> for general
 usage information, such as how to construct an API request.</p>
 <p>The following table lists and describes resources accessible through the
 App Services API on which your application can perform management
 operations. Click on a resource for further details about the resource
 and its methods.</p>

	<p>Your application can use the App Services API to request a variety of
	management operations on App Services resources. For example, your
	application can request an access token to use in operations on entities
	and collections. Or it can create an organization to contain the
	applications, entities, and collections for a company, team, or project.</p>
	<p>Your application makes requests through the API using HTTP methods such
	as GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE, and specifies the pertinent resource URL.
	For management operations, the URL begins with <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">/management/</span></code>. See
	<a class="reference external" href="../getting-started/using-the-api.html">Using the API</a> for general
	usage information, such as how to construct an API request.</p>
	<p>The following table lists and describes resources accessible through the
	App Services API on which your application can perform management
	operations. Click on a resource for further details about the resource
	and its methods.</p>
