# Administrator API: Configuration
As mentioned in [Setup](../setup.md), Telodendria's configuration is
intended to be managed via the configuration API. Consult the
[Configuration](../config.md) document for a complete list of supported
configuration options. This document simply describes the API used to
update the configuration.
## API Endpoints
### **GET** `/_telodendria/admin/config`
Retrieve the current configuration.
| Requires Token | Rate Limited |
|----------------|--------------|
| Yes | Yes |
| Response Code | Description |
|---------------|-------------|
| 200 | The current configuration was successfully retrieved.|
### **POST** `/_telodendria/admin/config`
Installs a new configuration. This endpoint validates the request body,
ensuring it is a proper configuration, then it replaces the existing
configuration with the new one.
| Requires Token | Rate Limited |
|----------------|--------------|
| Yes | Yes |
| Response Code | Description |
|---------------|-------------|
| 200 | The new configuration was successfully installed.|
#### 200 Response Format
| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `restart_required` | `Boolean` | Whether or not the process needs to be restarted to finish applying the configuration. If this is `true`, then the restart endpoint should be used at a convenient time to apply the configuration.

# Administrator API: Process Control
This document describes the administrator APIs that allow a server
administrator to manage the Telodendria process itself.
## API Endpoints
### **POST** `/_telodendria/admin/restart`
Restart the Telodendria daemon cleanly. This endpoint will respond
immediately after signaling to the daemon that it should be restarted
as soon as possible. Note that the restart wmay not happen
instantaneously, as Telodendria will finish processing all current
requests before restarting. Also note that this is not a true restart;
the process does not exit and restart, rather, Telodendria simply tears
down all its state and then jumps back to the beginning of its code and
starts over.
| Requires Token | Rate Limited |
|----------------|--------------|
| Yes | Yes |
| Response Code | Description |
|---------------|-------------|
| 200 | The restart request was successfully sent.|
On success, this endpoint simply returns an empty JSON object.
### **POST** `/_telodendria/admin/shutdown`
Shut down the Telodendria process cleanly. This endpoint will respond
immediately after signalling to the daemon that it should be shut
down as soon as possible. Note that the shutdown may not happen
instantaneously, as Telodendria will finish processing all current
requests before shutting down. Also note that once shut down, Telodendria
may be automatically restarted by the system's service manager.
Otherwise, it will have to be manually restarted. This is a true
shutdown; the Telodendria process exits as soon as possible.
| Requires Token | Rate Limited |
|----------------|--------------|
| Yes | Yes |
| Response Code | Description |
|---------------|-------------|
| 200 | The shutdown request was successfully sent.|
On success, this endpoint simply returns an empty JSON object.

# Administrator API: Server Statistics
The administrator API allows users with the proper privileges to get
information about how the server process is performing.
## API Endpoints
### **GET** `/_telodendria/admin/stats`
Retrieve basic statistics about the currently running Telodendria
process.
| Requires Token | Rate Limited |
|----------------|--------------|
| Yes | Yes |
| Response Code | Description |
| 200 | The server statistics were successfully retrieved.|
#### 200 Response Format
| Field | Type | Description |
| `memory_allocated` | `Integer` | The total amount of memory allocated, measured in bytes.|
| `version` | `String` | The current version of Telodendria.|

.Os Telodendria Project
.Sh NAME
.Nm telodendria-admin
.Nd Administrator API documention.
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Pp
Telodendria provides an administrator API that allows for administrator control
over the homeserver. This includes profiling and examining the state of Telodendria,
as well as managing users and media.
.Pp
Like Synapse, Telodendria supports designating specific users as administrators.
However, unlike Synapse, it uses a more finely-grained privilege model that allows
a server administrator to designate specific administration tasks to other users
while not compromising and granting them full administrative access to the server.
.Pp
To authenticate with the administrator API, simply use a regular
access token.
.Ss Privileges
.Pp
Here are all of the privileges a local user can have. Unless otherwise specified,
these privileges only grant access to certain parts of the administrator API; the
regular Matrix API is unaffected.
.Bl -tag -width -Ds
.It Dv DEACTIVATE
Allows a user to deactivate any other local users.
.It Dv ISSUE_TOKENS
Allows a user to create, modify, and delete registration tokens.
.It Dv CONFIG
Allows a user to modify the Telodendria server daemon's configuration.
.It Dv GRANT_PRIVILEGES
Allows a user to modify his or her own privileges or the privileges of other
local users.
.It Dv ALIAS
Allows a user to modify room aliases created by other users. By default, users
can only manage their own room aliases, but an administrator may wish to take
over an alias or remove an offensive alias.
.It Dv PROC_CONTROL
Allows a user to get statistics on the running process, as well as shutdown and
restart the Telodendria daemon itself. Typically this will pair well with
.Dv CONFIG ,
because there are certain configuration options that require the process to be
restarted.
.El
.Pp
There is also a special ``pseudo-privilege'':
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Dv ALL
Grants a user all of the aforementioned privileges, as well as privileges that
do not yet exist. That is, if an update to Telodendria adds more privileges,
users with this privilege will automatically gain those new privileges in
addition to having all of the existing privileges.
.Pp
This privilege should only be used with fully-trusted users. It is typical for
a server administrator to not fully trust anyone else, and be the only one that
holds an account with this privilege level.
.El
.Sh API ENDPOINTS
.Pp
The following API endpoints are implemented for the installed version of
Telodendria.
.Pp
Unless otherwise indicated, HTTP response codes that are not 200 Ok
will be accompanied by a standard Matrix API error. Consult the Matrix specification
for the format of these errors. The following error conditions are assumed to be
possible for all of the endpoints listed here:
