public interface IAdmin
extends ServiceInterface

Administration interface providing access to admin-only functionality as well as JMX-based server access and selected user functions. Most methods require membership in privileged groups. Methods which return Experimenter or ExperimenterGroup instances fetch and load all related instances of ExperimenterGroup or Experimenter, respectively.

Returns:

file objects. Possibly empty.
