# #1: Suggestion on a Telodendria Admin API.
This is a suggestion of how the admin API should work; it is subject to
heavy changes.
It also acts as a suggestion on how suggestions should be written. It
might not be accepted, or the format might be changed heavily.
## "Admin" users.
Like in Synapse, there should be a field dictating if the user is an
admin, and unlike Synapse, there should be privilege levels.
In the `[dataroot]/users/[user].json` file, there should be a field
called `"privileges"` which contains a list of strings.
```json
{
"devices": {
"foobar": { ... }
},
"salt": "salt goes here",
"deactivated": false,
"createdOn": 1700000000000,
"password": "hash goes here",
"privileges": [
"DEACTIVATE",
"ISSUE_TOKENS"
]
}
```
## Privileges list
Here are all of the admin privileges a user can have:
- DEACTIVATE:
This allows an user to deactivate/reactivate any users using
the DELETE /_telodendria/admin/disable/[localpart] endpoint
2023-02-04 00:21:36 +00:00
- ISSUE_TOKENS:
This allows users to create, modify and delete registration
tokens.
- ALL:
Users with this privilege can use *any* admin endpoint(and some
others)
**THIS PRIVILEGE SHOULD ONLY BE USED WITH *TRUSTED* USERS.**
