# The Admin API
|
|
|
|
## Authenticate 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.:
|
|
|
|
```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`
|
|
command. This is a script that is distributed as part of synapse. It is possibly
|
|
already on your `$PATH` depending on how Synapse was installed.
|
|
|
|
Finding your user's `access_token` is client-dependent, but will usually be shown in the client's settings.
|
|
|
|
## Making an Admin API request
|
|
Once you have your `access_token`, you will need to authenticate each request to an Admin API endpoint by
|
|
providing the token as either a query parameter or a request header. To add it as a request header in cURL:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
curl --header "Authorization: Bearer <access_token>" <the_rest_of_your_API_request>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For more details on access tokens in Matrix, please refer to the complete
|
