{% hint style="warning" %}
**Welcome to Our New API Docs!** This is the new home for all things API (previously at [Canvas LMS REST API Documentation](https://api.instructure.com)).

## Site Admin - Rate Limiting

### What it Does

#### Rate Limiting - add

Allows user to create new rate limit settings for external tools and integrations.

#### Rate Limiting - edit

Allows user to modify existing rate limit settings, including changing rate limit values and comments.

#### Rate Limiting - delete

Allows user to remove rate limit settings for external tools and integrations.

#### Rate Limiting - view

Allows user to view all rate limit settings and their details.

### Additional Considerations

#### Site Admin Only

This permission is only available to Site Admin users.

#### External Tools

Rate limiting settings apply to external tools and integrations that use OAuth client configurations with throttling parameters.

#### UTID Integration

This feature supports UTID (Unified Tool ID) based rate limiting for partner tools and products.
