# Admin challenge tokens

`POST /api/token/admin-challenge`

**This endpoint can only be used by Lichess administrators. It will not work if you do not have the appropriate permissions.** Tournament organizers should instead use [OAuth](#tag/OAuth) to obtain `challenge:write` tokens from users in order to perform bulk pairing.*
Create and obtain `challenge:write` tokens for multiple users.
If a similar token already exists for a user, it is reused. This endpoint is idempotent.

## Response `200`

The `challenge:write` tokens of each user

- object

## Other responses

- `400` — The creation of the tokens failed.
