# Supported admin APIs
|
|
|
|
Dendrite supports, at present, a very small number of endpoints that allow
|
|
admin users to perform administrative functions. Please note that there is no
|
|
API stability guarantee on these endpoints at present — they may change shape
|
|
without warning.
|
|
|
|
More endpoints will be added in the future.
|
|
|
|
Endpoints may be used directly through curl:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
curl --header "Authorization: Bearer <access_token>" -X <POST|GET|PUT> <Endpoint URI> -d '<Request Body Contents>'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
An `access_token` can be obtained through most Element-based matrix clients by going to `Settings` -> `Help & About` -> `Advanced` -> `Access Token`.
|
|
Be aware that an `access_token` allows a client to perform actions as an user and should be kept **secret**.
|
|
|
|
The user must be an administrator in the `account_accounts` table in order to use these endpoints.
|
|
|
|
Existing user accounts can be set to administrative accounts by changing `account_type` to `3` in `account_accounts`
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
UPDATE account_accounts SET account_type = 3 WHERE localpart = '$localpart';
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Where `$localpart` is the username only (e.g. `alice`).
|
|
|
|
## GET `/_dendrite/admin/evacuateRoom/{roomID}`
|
|
|
|
This endpoint will instruct Dendrite to part all local users from the given `roomID`
|
|
in the URL. It may take some time to complete. A JSON body will be returned containing
|
|
the user IDs of all affected users.
|
|
|
|
## GET `/_dendrite/admin/evacuateUser/{userID}`
|
|
|
|
This endpoint will instruct Dendrite to part the given local `userID` in the URL from
|
|
all rooms which they are currently joined. A JSON body will be returned containing
|
|
the room IDs of all affected rooms.
|
|
|
|
## POST `/_dendrite/admin/resetPassword/{localpart}`
|
|
|
|
Request body format:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
{
|
|
"password": "new_password_here"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Reset the password of a local user. The `localpart` is the username only, i.e. if
|
|
the full user ID is `@alice:domain.com` then the local part is `alice`.
|
|
|
|
## POST `/_synapse/admin/v1/send_server_notice`
|
|
|
|
Request body format:
|
|
```
|
|
{
|
|
"user_id": "@target_user:server_name",
|
|
"content": {
|
|
"msgtype": "m.text",
|
|
"body": "This is my message"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Send a server notice to a specific user. See the [Matrix Spec](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.3/client-server-api/#server-notices) for additional details on server notice behaviour.
|
|
If successfully sent, the API will return the following response:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
{
|
|
"event_id": "<event_id>"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## GET `/_synapse/admin/v1/register`
|
|
|
|
Shared secret registration — please see the [user creation page](createusers) for
|
|
guidance on configuring and using this endpoint.
|
|
|
|
## GET `/_matrix/client/v3/admin/whois/{userId}`
|
|
|
|
From the [Matrix Spec](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.3/client-server-api/#get_matrixclientv3adminwhoisuserid).
|
|
Gets information about a particular user. `userId` is the full user ID (e.g. `@alice:domain.com`)
|
