# Overview

Grafana Enterprise Metrics ships with an [admin API](https://grafana.com/docs/enterprise-metrics/v1.7.x/admin-api/) that empowers operators to create tenants and corresponding authentication resources to help manage your cluster. A GEM tenant can store metrics and handle queries for those metrics. The data stored in a tenant will be isolated from other tenants in the cluster, unless you are using a [multi-tenant query](https://grafana.com/docs/enterprise-metrics/v1.7.x/tenant-management/tenant-federation/). The [Grafana Enterprise Metrics plugin](https://grafana.com/docs/enterprise-metrics/v1.7.x/setup-gem-plugin-grafana/) interacts with the admin API to create the resources required to administer a GEM cluster.
