# Admin

> Manage API keys, control what each key can access, and monitor usage across your organization, from the account UI or programmatically with the Admin API.

You can administer your DeepL API subscription in two ways:

* **Account UI**: the [API Keys & Limits](https://www.deepl.com/your-account/keys) and [API Usage](https://www.deepl.com/your-account/usage) tabs of your DeepL account, available on all plans
* **Admin API**: programmatic key management and usage analytics, for automating key provisioning, enforcing limits, and feeding usage data into your own dashboards or billing systems (see the [Admin API reference](/api-reference/admin-api/managing-developer-keys/create-key))

## The Admin API

The Admin API is available to all API Growth and API Enterprise subscribers, and to a limited set of Pro API subscribers. To enable access, contact your DeepL customer success manager or DeepL support.

The Admin API uses its own key type: admin keys, which always carry an `:adm` suffix to distinguish them from developer keys. You create admin keys in the ["Admin Keys" tab](https://www.deepl.com/your-account/admin) of your account (see [Managing API Keys in the Account UI](/docs/admin/managing-api-keys#manage-admin-api-keys)) and pass them in the `Authorization` header of each request, just like developer keys:

`Authorization: DeepL-Auth-Key [yourAdminKey]`

Admin API endpoints are available on the Pro endpoint `https://api.deepl.com`. See the [Admin API reference](/api-reference/admin-api/managing-developer-keys/create-key) for request and response schemas.
