+To test your new contribution, add [unit tests](https://github.com/openml/openml-python/tree/main/tests), and, if needed, [examples](https://github.com/openml/openml-python/tree/main/examples) for any new functionality being introduced. Some notes on unit tests and examples:
 * If a unit test contains an upload to the test server, please ensure that it is followed by a file collection for deletion, to prevent the test server from bulking up. For example, `TestBase._mark_entity_for_removal('data', dataset.dataset_id)`, `TestBase._mark_entity_for_removal('flow', (flow.flow_id, flow.name))`.
 * Please ensure that the example is run on the test server by beginning with the call to `openml.config.start_using_configuration_for_example()`, which is done by default for tests derived from `TestBase`.
 * Add the `@pytest.mark.sklearn` marker to your unit tests if they have a dependency on scikit-learn.
 
+#### Running Tests That Require Admin Privileges
+
+Some tests require admin privileges on the test server and will be automatically skipped unless you provide an admin API key. For regular contributors, the tests will skip gracefully. For core contributors who need to run these tests locally, you can set up the key by exporting the variable as below before running the tests:
+
+```bash
+# For windows
+$env:OPENML_TEST_SERVER_ADMIN_KEY = "admin-key"
+# For linux/mac
+export OPENML_TEST_SERVER_ADMIN_KEY="admin-key"
+```
