- </code></pre>
- <p>To paginate, check for <code>next_token</code> and if present, call the endpoint again
- with <code>from</code> set to the value of <code>next_token</code>. This will return a new page.</p>
- <p>If the endpoint does not return a <code>next_token</code> then there are no more users

- <p><strong>Parameters</strong></p>
- <p>The following parameters should be set in the URL:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>
- <p><code>user_id</code> - Is optional and filters to only return users with user IDs
- that contain this value. This parameter is ignored when using the <code>name</code> parameter.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p><code>name</code> - Is optional and filters to only return users with user ID localparts
- <strong>or</strong> displaynames that contain this value.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p><code>guests</code> - string representing a bool - Is optional and if <code>false</code> will <strong>exclude</strong> guest users.
- Defaults to <code>true</code> to include guest users.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p><code>deactivated</code> - string representing a bool - Is optional and if <code>true</code> will <strong>include</strong> deactivated users.
- Defaults to <code>false</code> to exclude deactivated users.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <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>
- </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>
- </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>To paginate, check for <code>next_token</code> and if present, call the endpoint again
- with <code>from</code> set to the value of <code>next_token</code>. This will return a new page.</p>
- <p>If the endpoint does not return a <code>next_token</code> then there are no more
- reports to paginate through.</p>
- <p><strong>Parameters</strong></p>
- <p>The following parameters should be set in the URL:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>
- <p><code>user_id</code> - string - fully qualified: for example, <code>@user:server.com</code>.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <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 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>
- </li>
- </ul>
- <p>If neither <code>order_by</code> nor <code>dir</code> is set, the default order is newest media on top
- (corresponds to <code>order_by</code> = <code>created_ts</code> and <code>dir</code> = <code>b</code>).</p>
- <p>Caution. The database only has indexes on the columns <code>media_id</code>,
- <code>user_id</code> and <code>created_ts</code>. This means that if a different sort order is used
- (<code>upload_name</code>, <code>last_access_ts</code>, <code>media_length</code>, <code>media_type</code>,
- <code>quarantined_by</code> or <code>safe_from_quarantine</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>
- <ul>
- <li><code>media</code> - An array of objects, each containing information about a media.

- </ul>
- </li>
- <li><code>next_token</code>: integer - Indication for pagination. See above.</li>

- <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/<user_id>/media
- </code></pre>
- <p>A response body like the following is returned:</p>
- <pre><code class="language-json">{
- "deleted_media": [
- "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwx"
- ],
- "total": 1
- }
- </code></pre>
- <p>The following fields are returned in the JSON response body:</p>
- <ul>
- <li><code>deleted_media</code>: an array of strings - List of deleted <code>media_id</code></li>
- <li><code>total</code>: integer - Total number of deleted <code>media_id</code></li>
- </ul>
- <p><strong>Note</strong>: There is no <code>next_token</code>. This is not useful for deleting media, because
- after deleting media the remaining media have a new order.</p>
- <p><strong>Parameters</strong></p>
- <p>This API has the same parameters as
- <a href="#list-media-uploaded-by-a-user">List media uploaded by a user</a>.
- With the parameters you can for example limit the number of files to delete at once or
- delete largest/smallest or newest/oldest files first.</p>
- <h2 id="login-as-a-user"><a class="header" href="#login-as-a-user">Login as a user</a></h2>
- <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/<user_id>/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.</p>
- <p>A response body like the following is returned:</p>
- <pre><code class="language-json">{
- "access_token": "<opaque_access_token_string>"
- }
- </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>

- <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/<user_id>/shadow_ban
- </code></pre>
- <p>To un-shadow-ban a user the API is:</p>
