I think that all the stuff related to admin REST endpoints or admin 
console UI is under /auth/admin/* .

For access admin console just from local addresses, we don't support it 
AFAIK, but you can achieve it with usage of some custom proxy/filter, 
which will reject request coming from external IP address.

For the future, we plan to improve authorization/permissions for admin 
console. As part of this, it will be possible to create authorization 
rule to limit access just for some IP addresses. Not sure when this is 
available though...
