**Response Codes**

- `200` - Super admin account activated successfully
- `400` - Token unknown, expired, already used, or requires `dev-mode`
- `429` - Rate limited; retry after the `Retry-After` interval

**Error:**

Production runs with `dev-mode` disabled, so the token must set `devModeOnly = false`. See
[Super Admin Registration](https://docs.walt.id/enterprise-stack/setup/configurations/config-files/superadmin-registration.md).
