# Authentication

> How external developers should approach Kralis authentication and what the auth surface provides.

Kralis exposes authentication through its REST auth surface.

## Primary auth surface

* [https://api.kralis.app/auth/](https://api.kralis.app/auth/)

This area is used for:

* login
* logout
* token lifecycle
* current user details
* password-related operations

## Integrator expectation

A client should authenticate first, capture the resulting user and school
context, and then use that context when calling GraphQL or other supported
resources.

## Important rule

Treat returned user and school context as operationally important. Many follow-up
flows depend on knowing which school, role, year, and term the current user is
working inside.
