<p><code>limit</code> - string representing a positive integer - Is optional but is used for pagination,
denoting the maximum number of items to return in this call. Defaults to <code>100</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>from</code> - string representing a positive integer - Is optional but used for pagination,
denoting the offset in the returned results. This should be treated as an opaque value and
not explicitly set to anything other than the return value of <code>next_token</code> from a previous call.
Defaults to <code>0</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>order_by</code> - The method by which to sort the returned list of users.
If the ordered field has duplicates, the second order is always by ascending <code>name</code>,
which guarantees a stable ordering. Valid values are:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>name</code> - Users are ordered alphabetically by <code>name</code>. This is the default.</li>
<li><code>is_guest</code> - Users are ordered by <code>is_guest</code> status.</li>
<li><code>admin</code> - Users are ordered by <code>admin</code> status.</li>
<li><code>user_type</code> - Users are ordered alphabetically by <code>user_type</code>.</li>
<li><code>deactivated</code> - Users are ordered by <code>deactivated</code> status.</li>
<li><code>shadow_banned</code> - Users are ordered by <code>shadow_banned</code> status.</li>
<li><code>displayname</code> - Users are ordered alphabetically by <code>displayname</code>.</li>
<li><code>avatar_url</code> - Users are ordered alphabetically by avatar URL.</li>
<li><code>creation_ts</code> - Users are ordered by when the users was created in ms.</li>
<li><code>last_seen_ts</code> - Users are ordered by when the user was lastly seen in ms.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>dir</code> - Direction of media order. Either <code>f</code> for forwards or <code>b</code> for backwards.
Setting this value to <code>b</code> will reverse the above sort order. Defaults to <code>f</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>not_user_type</code> - Exclude certain user types, such as bot users, from the request.
Can be provided multiple times. Possible values are <code>bot</code>, <code>support</code> or &quot;empty string&quot;.
&quot;empty string&quot; here means to exclude users without a type.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Caution. The database only has indexes on the columns <code>name</code> and <code>creation_ts</code>.
This means that if a different sort order is used (<code>is_guest</code>, <code>admin</code>,
<code>user_type</code>, <code>deactivated</code>, <code>shadow_banned</code>, <code>avatar_url</code> or <code>displayname</code>),
this can cause a large load on the database, especially for large environments.</p>
<p><strong>Response</strong></p>
<p>The following fields are returned in the JSON response body:</p>

<p>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).</p>
<p>It can also mark the user as GDPR-erased. This means messages sent by the
user will still be visible by anyone that was in the room when these messages
were sent, but hidden from users joining the room afterwards.</p>

<li>
<p><code>from</code>: string representing a positive integer - Is optional but used for pagination,
denoting the offset in the returned results. This should be treated as an opaque value and
not explicitly set to anything other than the return value of <code>next_token</code> from a previous call.
Defaults to <code>0</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>order_by</code> - The method by which to sort the returned list of media.
If the ordered field has duplicates, the second order is always by ascending <code>media_id</code>,
which guarantees a stable ordering. Valid values are:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>media_id</code> - Media are ordered alphabetically by <code>media_id</code>.</li>
<li><code>upload_name</code> - Media are ordered alphabetically by name the media was uploaded with.</li>
<li><code>created_ts</code> - Media are ordered by when the content was uploaded in ms.
Smallest to largest. This is the default.</li>
<li><code>last_access_ts</code> - Media are ordered by when the content was last accessed in ms.
Smallest to largest.</li>
<li><code>media_length</code> - Media are ordered by length of the media in bytes.
Smallest to largest.</li>
<li><code>media_type</code> - Media are ordered alphabetically by MIME-type.</li>
<li><code>quarantined_by</code> - Media are ordered alphabetically by the user ID that
initiated the quarantine request for this media.</li>
<li><code>safe_from_quarantine</code> - Media are ordered by the status if this media is safe
from quarantining.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>dir</code> - Direction of media order. Either <code>f</code> for forwards or <code>b</code> for backwards.
Setting this value to <code>b</code> will reverse the above sort order. Defaults to <code>f</code>.</p>

<h3 id="delete-media-uploaded-by-a-user"><a class="header" href="#delete-media-uploaded-by-a-user">Delete media uploaded by a user</a></h3>
<p>This API deletes the <em>local</em> media from the disk of your own server
that a specific <code>user_id</code> has created. This includes any local thumbnails.</p>
<p>This API will not affect media that has been uploaded to external
media repositories (e.g https://github.com/turt2live/matrix-media-repo/).</p>
<p>By default, the API deletes media ordered by descending creation date and ascending media ID.
The newest media is deleted first. You can change the order with parameters
<code>order_by</code> and <code>dir</code>. If no <code>limit</code> is set the API deletes <code>100</code> files per request.</p>
<p>The API is:</p>
<pre><code>DELETE /_synapse/admin/v1/users/&lt;user_id&gt;/media
</code></pre>
<p>A response body like the following is returned:</p>
<pre><code class="language-json">{

<p>Get an access token that can be used to authenticate as that user. Useful for
when admins wish to do actions on behalf of a user.</p>
<p>The API is:</p>
<pre><code>POST /_synapse/admin/v1/users/&lt;user_id&gt;/login
{}
</code></pre>
<p>An optional <code>valid_until_ms</code> field can be specified in the request body as an
integer timestamp that specifies when the token should expire. By default tokens
do not expire. Note that this API does not allow a user to login as themselves
(to create more tokens).</p>
<p>A response body like the following is returned:</p>
<pre><code class="language-json">{
    &quot;access_token&quot;: &quot;&lt;opaque_access_token_string&gt;&quot;
}
</code></pre>
<p>This API does <em>not</em> generate a new device for the user, and so will not appear
their <code>/devices</code> list, and in general the target user should not be able to
tell they have been logged in as.</p>
<p>To expire the token call the standard <code>/logout</code> API with the token.</p>
<p>Note: The token will expire if the <em>admin</em> user calls <code>/logout/all</code> from any
of their devices, but the token will <em>not</em> expire if the target user does the
same.</p>

<h2 id="controlling-whether-a-user-is-shadow-banned"><a class="header" href="#controlling-whether-a-user-is-shadow-banned">Controlling whether a user is shadow-banned</a></h2>
<p>Shadow-banning is a useful tool for moderating malicious or egregiously abusive users.
A shadow-banned users receives successful responses to their client-server API requests,
but the events are not propagated into rooms. This can be an effective tool as it
(hopefully) takes longer for the user to realise they are being moderated before
pivoting to another account.</p>
<p>Shadow-banning a user should be used as a tool of last resort and may lead to confusing
or broken behaviour for the client. A shadow-banned user will not receive any
notification and it is generally more appropriate to ban or kick abusive users.
A shadow-banned user will be unable to contact anyone on the server.</p>
<p>To shadow-ban a user the API is:</p>
<pre><code>POST /_synapse/admin/v1/users/&lt;user_id&gt;/shadow_ban
</code></pre>
<p>To un-shadow-ban a user the API is:</p>
<pre><code>DELETE /_synapse/admin/v1/users/&lt;user_id&gt;/shadow_ban
</code></pre>
<p>An empty JSON dict is returned in both cases.</p>
<p><strong>Parameters</strong></p>
<p>The following parameters should be set in the URL:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>user_id</code> - The fully qualified MXID: for example, <code>@user:server.com</code>. The user must
be local.</li>
