# Account validity API
This API allows a server administrator to manage the validity of an account. To
use it, you must enable the account validity feature (under
`account_validity`) in Synapse's configuration.
To use it, you will need to authenticate by providing an `access_token`
for a server admin: see [Admin API](../usage/administration/admin_api/).
## Renew account
This API extends the validity of an account by as much time as configured in the
`period` parameter from the `account_validity` configuration.
The API is:
```
POST /_synapse/admin/v1/account_validity/validity
```
with the following body:
```json
{
"user_id": "<user ID for the account to renew>",
"expiration_ts": 0,
"enable_renewal_emails": true
}
```
`expiration_ts` is an optional parameter and overrides the expiration date,
which otherwise defaults to now + validity period.
`enable_renewal_emails` is also an optional parameter and enables/disables
sending renewal emails to the user. Defaults to true.
The API returns with the new expiration date for this account, as a timestamp in
milliseconds since epoch:
```json
{
"expiration_ts": 0
}
```
