## Available Web Services in 2.1

Sakai 2.1 includes built-in support for creating and modifying Users, AuthzGroups, and Sites via Web Services. This allows for an easy way to add large numbers of users and sites to your system. It is also easy to build your own web services to open up portions of Sakai.

However, this is still a small subset of things that should be available. In future releases you can expect to see built-in web services for a much broader category of services. You should be able to do things such as post announcements and add events to calendars using web services, without needing to write your own.

Another limitation with the currently availble web services in Sakai is that you still need to understand a good bit about how Sakai works under the covers. You can expect more developer-friendly bindings to emerge in the future.
