Admin APIs
==========
This directory includes documentation for the various synapse specific admin
APIs available.
Only users that are server admins can use these APIs. 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'``
Restarting may be required for the changes to register.

Purge History API
=================
The purge history API allows server admins to purge historic events from their
database, reclaiming disk space.
Depending on the amount of history being purged a call to the API may take
several minutes or longer. During this period users will not be able to
paginate further back in the room from the point being purged from.
The API is simply:
``POST /_matrix/client/r0/admin/purge_history/<room_id>/<event_id>``
including an ``access_token`` of a server admin.

Purge Remote Media API
======================
The purge remote media API allows server admins to purge old cached remote
media.
The API is::
POST /_matrix/client/r0/admin/purge_history/
{
"before_ts": <unix_timestamp_in_ms>
}
Which will remove all cached media that was last accessed before
``<unix_timestamp_in_ms>``.
If the user re-requests purged remote media, synapse will re-request the media
from the originating server.
