Server administration

If you are an admin of your homeserver, ⋮ → Server administration… manages it from the app. The menu item shows only for admins. It works with servers that have Synapse's admin API, as Uniform Chat Server does.

• Reports lists what users reported, newest first, with the reason and, for unencrypted messages, the message. Delete a report once you have dealt with it, suspend the reported user, or shut the room down.
• Accounts finds accounts by part of their user ID or name. Choose one to see its devices and where they last connected from, and to:
  • Suspend it: the user can still read and leave rooms, but not send messages, join rooms or invite. Their app tells them.
  • Lock it: the server refuses their devices until you unlock it; they stay signed in.
  • Make admin, or take the rights away.
  • Set a new password, which logs out their devices.
  • Send a server notice, which arrives in their own Server notices room.
  • Deactivate it for good.
• Registration tokens lists the tokens new accounts register with. Make one with a number of uses or days, copy it and share it; delete one to stop it working.

Shutting a room down and deactivating an account cannot be undone, so the app asks first. You cannot suspend, lock, deactivate or take admin rights from your own account.

Server notices

Messages from your server's admins arrive in a room named Server notices, listed first and marked From your server. You cannot reply there.
