.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:

.Ss Sy GET No /_telodendria/admin/privileges/[localpart]
.Pp
Retrieve the permissions for a user. If the localpart is
omitted, then retrieve the privileges for the user that owns
the access token being used. Note that the owner of the
access token must have the
.Dv GRANT_PRIVILEGES
privilege.

.Pp
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 may 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 its state, and then jumps back to the beginning of its code
and starts over.

.Pp
Shut down the Telodendria process cleanly. This endpoint will respond immediately
after signaling to the daemon that it should be shut down as soon as possible.
Note that the shutdown may not happen instantaneously, as Telodnedria 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.
