FAPI manages authentication flows on a per-user basis. For instance, it handles flows for signing up a user, retrieving a user's active sessions, creating an organization on behalf of a user, or fetching a user's organization invites. You can find the complete FAPI documentation [here](https://clerk.com/docs/reference/frontend-api).

FAPI _does not_ handle administrative actions that impact multiple users, such as listing all users, banning users, or impersonating a user. These types of tasks are handled by [the backend API](#backend-api).

Some tasks, such as [signing up a user](https://clerk.com/docs/reference/frontend-api/tag/Sign-Ups#operation/createSignUps), don't require authentication, as that would defeat the purpose of the endpoint. However, endpoints designed for authenticated users, like [updating a user's details](https://clerk.com/docs/reference/frontend-api/tag/User#operation/patchUser), require FAPI to first identify the user making the request and then verify their authorization. This ensures that users cannot modify another user's details. Typically, this is achieved by sending a signed token with the request, either as a cookie or a header. You can [learn more about Clerk's authentication tokens later in this guide](#stateful-authentication).
