Admin and service ownership

Socra Admin composes Account administration into one browser interface. Durable resources remain owned by the service responsible for their behavior.

Composition boundary

Admin owns the browser experience. It can manage authentication redirects, browser sessions, forms, navigation, and calls to published service APIs. Admin does not keep a second copy of Account, billing, licensing, or domain state.

Customer documentation

Admin documentation starts from a task that an Account administrator performs. A task can cross service boundaries when Admin presents it as one operation. For example, buying product access uses Billing to create the subscription and Licensing to expose the resulting access.

Developer documentation

Developer documentation starts from an API, resource model, authentication contract, or Cloud Project. That material belongs to the owning service or Socra Cloud documentation. Admin guides can link to it, but they do not duplicate service API reference.

This separation keeps customer procedures stable while each service evolves its own machine interface.
