# Admin overview

> Catalog and moderation tools for trusted operators

Use the Admin API only from trusted operator tools. It creates barber profiles,
moderates photos, and maintains review tags used across shops.

## What you do first

1. [Create a barber profile](/api-reference/admin/create-a-barber-profile) when
   onboarding is operator-driven rather than self-serve.
2. [List photos](/api-reference/admin/list-photos) awaiting moderation, then
   [approve](/api-reference/admin/approve-a-photo) or
   [reject](/api-reference/admin/reject-a-photo) each one.
3. Manage review tags with
   [create](/api-reference/admin/create-a-new-review-tag),
   [update](/api-reference/admin/update-a-review-tag), and
   [delete](/api-reference/admin/delete-a-review-tag).
4. [Soft delete a barber](/api-reference/admin/soft-delete-a-barber) when an
   operator must remove a profile from active booking.

## States that matter

| Surface             | What it means for the next call                                      |
| ------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Photo in review     | Cannot assign to a public surface until approved                     |
| Soft-deleted barber | Profile is deactivated; do not treat it as an active bookable barber |
| Review tags         | Shared vocabulary customers pick when writing reviews                |

## When a call fails

Failures come back as problem documents. Open the `type` link for the cause,
the fix, and whether retrying is safe. Expect `forbidden` when the caller is
not an operator, and photo conflicts when an asset is not eligible for the
requested moderation action.
