The :doc:`/api/native-api` contains a useful but potentially dangerous API endpoint called "admin" that allows you to change system settings, make ordinary users into superusers, and more. The ``builtin-users`` endpoint lets people create a local/builtin user account if they know the ``BuiltinUsers.KEY`` value described below.

By default, all APIs can be operated on remotely and without the need for any authentication. https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/1886 was opened to explore changing these defaults, but until then it is very important to block both the "admin" endpoint (and at least consider blocking ``builtin-users``). For details please see also the section on ``:BlockedApiPolicy`` below.
