Richard van der Hoff cea7839911 Document some of the admin APIs (#2143)
I haven't (yet) documented all of the user-list APIs introduced in
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/1784 because the API shape seems
very odd, given the functionality.

Query Account

This API returns information about a specific user account.

The api is:

GET /_matrix/client/r0/admin/whois/<user_id>

including an access_token of a server admin.

It returns a JSON body like the following:

{
    "user_id": "<user_id>",
    "devices": {
        "": {
            "sessions": [
                {
                    "connections": [
                        {
                            "ip": "1.2.3.4",
                            "last_seen": 1417222374433,
                            "user_agent": "Mozilla/5.0 ..."
                        },
                        {
                            "ip": "1.2.3.10",
                            "last_seen": 1417222374500,
                            "user_agent": "Dalvik/2.1.0 ..."
                        }
                    ]
                }
            ]
        }
    }
}

last_seen is measured in milliseconds since the Unix epoch.

Deactivate Account

This API deactivates an account. It removes active access tokens, resets the password, and deletes third-party IDs (to prevent the user requesting a password reset).

The api is:

POST /_matrix/client/r0/admin/deactivate/<user_id>

including an access_token of a server admin, and an empty request body.

Reset password

Changes the password of another user.

The api is:

POST /_matrix/client/r0/admin/reset_password/<user_id>

with a body of:

{
    "new_password": "<secret>"
}

including an access_token of a server admin.
