In other word all these management related functionalities are exposed via web services.
To access these web services - also known as admin services, you need to be an authenticated user and also need to have the required set of permissions.
Following client demonstrates how you can create an authenticated session with WSO2 Carbon and then invoke an admin service with a JAX-WS client.
