parentAdmin API to join users to a room. (#7051) (diff)
downloadsynapse-84f7eaed16a8169f1d70d047c9354c8232b9fb9f.tar.xz
Improve the UX of the login fallback when using SSO (#7152)
* Don't show the login forms if we're currently logging in with a
  password or a token.
* Submit directly the SSO login form, showing only a spinner to the
  user, in order to eliminate from the clunkiness of SSO through this
  fallback.
