More endpoints will be added in the future.
Endpoints may be used directly through curl:
```
curl --header "Authorization: Bearer <access_token>" -X <POST|GET|PUT> <Endpoint URI> -d '<Request Body Contents>'
```
An `access_token` can be obtained through most Element-based matrix clients by going to `Settings` -> `Help & About` -> `Advanced` -> `Access Token`.
Be aware that an `access_token` allows a client to perform actions as an user and should be kept **secret**.
The user must be an administrator in the `account_accounts` table in order to use these endpoints.
Existing user accounts can be set to administrative accounts by changing `account_type` to `3` in `account_accounts`
```
UPDATE account_accounts SET account_type = 3 WHERE localpart = '$localpart';
```
Where `$localpart` is the username only (e.g. `alice`).

Reset the password of a local user. The `localpart` is the username only, i.e. if

"event_id": "<event_id>"
}
```
