| 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.:
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. code-block:: sql
 | |
| 
 | |
|     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 <https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.5.0#using-access-tokens>`_.
