# Account validity API
|
|
|
|
This API allows a server administrator to manage the validity of an account. To
|
|
use it, you must enable the account validity feature (under
|
|
`account_validity`) in Synapse's configuration.
|
|
|
|
To use it, you will need to authenticate by providing an `access_token`
|
|
for a server admin: see [Admin API](../usage/administration/admin_api/).
|
|
|
|
## Renew account
|
|
|
|
This API extends the validity of an account by as much time as configured in the
|
|
`period` parameter from the `account_validity` configuration.
|
|
|
|
The API is:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
POST /_synapse/admin/v1/account_validity/validity
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
with the following body:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"user_id": "<user ID for the account to renew>",
|
|
"expiration_ts": 0,
|
|
"enable_renewal_emails": true
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
`expiration_ts` is an optional parameter and overrides the expiration date,
|
|
which otherwise defaults to now + validity period.
|
|
|
|
`enable_renewal_emails` is also an optional parameter and enables/disables
|
|
sending renewal emails to the user. Defaults to true.
|
|
|
|
The API returns with the new expiration date for this account, as a timestamp in
|
|
milliseconds since epoch:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"expiration_ts": 0
|
|
}
|
|
```
