The button on the lower end of the page allows you to send an invitation to use the toolset to an IdP in your federationNRO. This can either be an IdP which is already in production (i.e. already listed in the official eduroam database with at least the "IdP" role) or it can be a new institution which is still in a bootstrapping phase (i.e. not yet registered in the official eduroam database). eduroam Managed IdP institutions are not typically registered, because their realm is not determined yet - it will be set by the eduroam Managed IdP system.

As a NRO administrator, depending on the number of IdPs in your federationNRO, you may find it cumbersome to add IdPs interactively. Or maybe you already have a customer self-service management system where authorised IdP admins could self-enroll without you being in the middle.
For cases like this, a small API was created which allows federation NRO administrators to automate a limited amount of actions:
...
The CAT Admin API requires the NRO admin to be in possession of an API key. The API key is a long random string which needs to be used when executing API actions. The key is also bound to the federationNRO; i.e. you can only create or query IdPs in your own federation NRO with it.
API keys are distributed from the eduroam Operations Team to NRO administrators on email request. Please contact eduroam Operations for your Admin API key; API keys from version 1.x continue to be valid for version 2.0.
