# Face Recognition

This section describes the actions that you can use to train face recognition.

NOTE: Apart from ListFaceDatabases, ListFaces, and GetFaceImage, all of these actions are administrative actions. Administrative actions can be sent only by users who belong to an authorization role that allows the `Admin` standard role, or which enables the action explicitly. See Authorization Roles Configuration Parameters.
