-## Authentication
-
-Most actions against the backend require you to be logged in as a user
-with the appropriate permissions. By sending a request like:
-
-```
-POST /users/admin/login?password=login
-```
-
-your authentication request will be validated, and a session token
-will be returned in the JSON response for your request. To remain
-authenticated, provide this token with subsequent requests in the
-`X-ArchivesSpace-Session` header. For example:
-
-```
-X-ArchivesSpace-Session: 8e921ac9bbe9a4a947eee8a7c5fa8b4c81c51729935860c1adfed60a5e4202cb
-```
-
-## CRUD
-
-The ArchivesSpace API provides CRUD-style interactions for a number of
-different "top-level" record types. Working with records follows a
-fairly standard pattern:
-
-```
-# Get a paginated list of accessions from repository '123'
-GET /repositories/123/accessions?page=1
-
-# Create a new accession, returning the ID of the new record
-POST /repositories/123/accessions
-{... a JSON document satisfying JSONModel(:accession) here ...}
-
-# Get a single accession (returned as a JSONModel(:accession) instance) using the ID returned by the previous request
-GET /repositories/123/accessions/456
-
-# Update an existing accession
-POST /repositories/123/accessions/456
-{... a JSON document satisfying JSONModel(:accession) here ...}
-```
