# Deprecated: Shutdown room API
|
|
|
|
**The old Shutdown room API is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
|
|
See the new [Delete Room API](rooms.md#delete-room-api) for more details.**
|
|
|
|
Shuts down a room, preventing new joins and moves local users and room aliases automatically
|
|
to a new room. The new room will be created with the user specified by the
|
|
`new_room_user_id` parameter as room administrator and will contain a message
|
|
explaining what happened. Users invited to the new room will have power level
|
|
-10 by default, and thus be unable to speak. The old room's power levels will be changed to
|
|
disallow any further invites or joins.
|
|
|
|
The local server will only have the power to move local user and room aliases to
|
|
the new room. Users on other servers will be unaffected.
|
|
|
|
## API
|
|
|
|
You will need to authenticate with an access token for an admin user.
|
|
|
|
### URL
|
|
|
|
`POST /_synapse/admin/v1/shutdown_room/{room_id}`
|
|
|
|
### URL Parameters
|
|
|
|
* `room_id` - The ID of the room (e.g `!someroom:example.com`)
|
|
|
|
### JSON Body Parameters
|
|
|
|
* `new_room_user_id` - Required. A string representing the user ID of the user that will admin
|
|
the new room that all users in the old room will be moved to.
|
|
* `room_name` - Optional. A string representing the name of the room that new users will be
|
|
invited to.
|
|
* `message` - Optional. A string containing the first message that will be sent as
|
|
`new_room_user_id` in the new room. Ideally this will clearly convey why the
|
|
original room was shut down.
|
|
|
|
If not specified, the default value of `room_name` is "Content Violation
|
|
Notification". The default value of `message` is "Sharing illegal content on
|
|
othis server is not permitted and rooms in violation will be blocked."
|
|
|
|
### Response Parameters
|
|
|
|
* `kicked_users` - An integer number representing the number of users that
|
|
were kicked.
|
|
* `failed_to_kick_users` - An integer number representing the number of users
|
|
that were not kicked.
|
|
* `local_aliases` - An array of strings representing the local aliases that were migrated from
|
|
the old room to the new.
|
|
* `new_room_id` - A string representing the room ID of the new room.
|
|
|
|
## Example
|

|
|
|
|
```

## Undoing room shutdowns
|
|
|
|
*Note*: This guide may be outdated by the time you read it. By nature of room shutdowns being performed at the database level,
|
|
the structure can and does change without notice.
|
|
|
|
First, it's important to understand that a room shutdown is very destructive. Undoing a shutdown is not as simple as pretending it
|
|
never happened - work has to be done to move forward instead of resetting the past. In fact, in some cases it might not be possible
|
|
to recover at all:
|
|
|
|
* If the room was invite-only, your users will need to be re-invited.
|
|
* If the room no longer has any members at all, it'll be impossible to rejoin.
|
|
* The first user to rejoin will have to do so via an alias on a different server.
|
|
|
|
With all that being said, if you still want to try and recover the room:
|
|
|
|
1. For safety reasons, shut down Synapse.
|
|
2. In the database, run `DELETE FROM blocked_rooms WHERE room_id = '!example:example.org';`
|
|
* For caution: it's recommended to run this in a transaction: `BEGIN; DELETE ...;`, verify you got 1 result, then `COMMIT;`.
|
|
* The room ID is the same one supplied to the shutdown room API, not the Content Violation room.
|
|
3. Restart Synapse.
|
|
|
|
You will have to manually handle, if you so choose, the following:
|
|
|
|
* Aliases that would have been redirected to the Content Violation room.
|
|
* Users that would have been booted from the room (and will have been force-joined to the Content Violation room).
|
|
* Removal of the Content Violation room if desired.
