# Use the Security Cache API
The Security Cache API exposes services which let you create and manage [security identity providers](https://docs.coveo.com/en/242/), and manage the security cache in a [Coveo organization](https://docs.coveo.com/en/185/).

In the [Coveo Administration Console](https://docs.coveo.com/en/183/), the [**Security Identities**](https://platform.cloud.coveo.com/admin/#/orgid/content/permissions/providers/) ([platform-ca](https://platform-ca.cloud.coveo.com/admin/#/orgid/content/permissions/providers/) | [platform-eu](https://platform-eu.cloud.coveo.com/admin/#/orgid/content/permissions/providers/) | [platform-au](https://platform-au.cloud.coveo.com/admin/#/orgid/content/permissions/providers/)) page uses the Security Cache API extensively.
See [Manage security identities](https://docs.coveo.com/en/1905/) for details on this page.

> **Note**
>
> All REST API string fields are case-sensitive unless otherwise specified.
> For example, [search queries aren't case-sensitive](https://docs.coveo.com/en/3074/).
> 
> To keep behavior consistent across the [Coveo Platform](https://docs.coveo.com/en/186/), the same value passed to different REST APIs must always be passed using the same case.
> For example, if the [unique product identifier](https://docs.coveo.com/en/n73f0502#define-a-unique-product-identifier), such as `ec_product_id`, is passed to the Commerce API in lowercase, then it should also be passed to the Usage Analytics Write API in lowercase.
