Administrative events

Introduction

Administrative events are system-level events emitted by AdmiralCloud in response to changes in your account configuration or content. They cover a broad range of operations — such as updates to media containers, metadata changes, workflow completions, security group modifications, or user actions — and are distinct from upload-related events, which track the file ingestion process specifically.

You can subscribe to administrative events using the Subscription Controller to trigger automated workflows when specific conditions are met. Each event subscription can define conditions (to filter by customer, resource, or payload values) and instructions (to call APIs, send emails, or trigger webhooks in response).

Common use cases

• Trigger a workflow when a media container's flag changes (e.g. content is approved)
• Notify a team when metadata for a specific asset is updated
• Automatically re-index or re-publish content after a format change
• Audit configuration changes to security groups or customer settings
