# Admin
Contains methods for authenticating and interacting with the Admin API.
This function can handle requests for apps embedded in the Admin, Admin extensions, or non-embedded apps.
## authenticate.admin(**[request](#authenticateadmin-propertydetail-request)**)
Authenticates requests coming from the Shopify admin.
**Note:** The shape of the returned object changes depending on the \distribution\ config. Merchant custom apps (\\App\Distribution.Shopify\Admin\\) are not embedded so do not return session tokens or redirect functionality. All other distributions are embedded and so they return a context with session tokens and redirect functionality.
