Admin APIs
This directory includes documentation for the various synapse specific admin APIs available.
Authenticating as a server admin
Many of the API calls in the admin api will require an access_token for a server admin. (Note that a server admin is distinct from a room admin.)
A user can be marked as a server admin by updating the database directly, e.g.:
UPDATE users SET admin = 1 WHERE name = '@foo:bar.com';A new server admin user can also be created using the
register_new_matrix_user script.
Finding your user's access_token is client-dependent, but will usually be shown in the client's settings.
Once you have your access_token, to include it in a request, the best option is to add the token to a request header:
curl --header "Authorization: Bearer <access_token>" <the_rest_of_your_API_request>
Fore more details, please refer to the complete matrix spec documentation.
