Access requirements
Required privileges
The Sever Administrator API requires privilege-based access. An administrator must be assigned a specific user privilege, or role, to access any given endpoint. Listed below are the user privileges or roles an administrator can be assigned that provides access to this endpoint. If multiple privileges are listed, only one needs to be assigned to gain access.
Note that administrators assigned a custom role must also have the administrative View all content privilege assigned to them to access the API directory as an administrator.
Tokens
This API requires token-based authentication. A token is automatically generated for administrators who sign in to the Server Administrator API directory's HTML interface. Tokens generated in this way are stored for the entirety of the session.
Those accessing the API directory outside of the HTML interface will need to acquire a session token from the generate operation in the Portal Directory API. For security reasons, all POST requests made to the Server Administrator API must include a token in the request body.
Description
The clean operation cleans the content (files and folders) within the directory that have passed their expiration date. Every server directory has the max and cleanup properties that govern when a file created inside is supposed to be cleaned up. The server directory cleaner automatically cleans up the content within server directories at regular intervals. However, you can explicitly clean the directory by invoking this operation.
