| hermitcrab | Hello | 14:23:03 |
 natrius | Hey | 14:23:18 |
| hermitcrab | I have successfully installed Synapse because of your tutorial, thanks! | 14:23:44 |
| natrius | I'm happy to hear that :) | 14:23:57 |
| hermitcrab | Do you have any plan to write about `admin` privilege of synapse account? | 14:24:36 |
| hermitcrab | I can't find good material to learn about that. | 14:25:04 |
| natrius | Care to elaborate what you mean with admin privilege? | 14:25:53 |
| natrius | The admin-account thats first set? | 14:26:02 |
| hermitcrab | Yes, when once we set up Synapse and make the first account, `register_new_matrix_user` command prompts you that you want to make the account "admin." | 14:27:45 |
| natrius | Ah, i see. | 14:27:55 |
| natrius | You want some information on why that account is needed and what can be done with that account, i'm assuming? | 14:28:18 |
| hermitcrab | exactly | 14:28:27 |
| natrius | Hm, sure, will do. | 14:28:53 |
| hermitcrab | nice. I'll wait for it. | 14:29:16 |
| hermitcrab | ...and should I make admin account first of all? | 14:29:54 |
| hermitcrab | I can't find any functionality in the client relating with admin...(currently I've tried Gnome Fractal and Element) | 14:31:15 |
 Mathijs | Admin accounts can use the synapse admin API, it's in the docs folder if the synapse repo | 14:36:57 |
| Mathijs | Ie: things like resetting passwords, purging rooms etc | 14:37:23 |
| Mathijs | AFAIK element doesn't implement any admin API endpoints | 14:37:49 |
| * Mathijs usually just uses curl | 14:37:57 |
| hermitcrab | Mathijs Thanks, now I understand it. | 14:38:40 |
| Mathijs | 👍 | 14:38:54 |
| hermitcrab | :) | 14:38:58 |
| natrius | I'll add some words for explanation. | 14:48:05 |
| natrius | Guess for using something like mjolnir its needed as well? https://github.com/matrix-org/mjolnir | 14:50:05 |
| hermitcrab | As far as I keep my server private which means the server won't accept sign up an account, then I probably don't need to use admin apis I guess? | 14:53:05 |
