## What Edge Lifecycle Management is

LEM's per-edge fleet operations: deploying apps, backups, alerts, RBAC, licensing, certificates across managed LE instances.

- Primary URL prefix: `{{LEM_URL}}/api/v1/...`
- Some sub-sections use `{{LEM_URL}}/mpcs/...` (Features / Applications launch)
- Auth: `X-AuthToken: {{LEM_AdminApiToken}}` (use `Authorization` header for /mpcs/ paths)

## RBAC note

`/lem/edge-lifecycle/rbac.md` manages users on the LE instance itself (the loopedge user table). To manage who can log into LEM, see /lem/admin-console/admin-console-settings.md instead.
