+Admin APIs
+==========
+
+This directory includes documentation for the various synapse specific admin
+APIs available.
+
+Only users that are server admins can use these APIs. A user can be marked as a
+server admin by updating the database directly, e.g.:
+
+``UPDATE users SET admin = 1 WHERE name = '@foo:bar.com'``
+
+Restarting may be required for the changes to register.
