From 4a55d267eef1388690e6781b580910e341358f95 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Patrick Cloke Date: Mon, 25 Jan 2021 14:49:39 -0500 Subject: Add an admin API for shadow-banning users. (#9209) This expands the current shadow-banning feature to be usable via the admin API and adds documentation for it. A shadow-banned users receives successful responses to their client-server API requests, but the events are not propagated into rooms. Shadow-banning a user should be used as a tool of last resort and may lead to confusing or broken behaviour for the client. --- synapse/rest/admin/users.py | 36 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 36 insertions(+) (limited to 'synapse/rest/admin/users.py') diff --git a/synapse/rest/admin/users.py b/synapse/rest/admin/users.py index 86198bab30..68c3c64a0d 100644 --- a/synapse/rest/admin/users.py +++ b/synapse/rest/admin/users.py @@ -890,3 +890,39 @@ class UserTokenRestServlet(RestServlet): ) return 200, {"access_token": token} + + +class ShadowBanRestServlet(RestServlet): + """An admin API for shadow-banning a user. + + A shadow-banned users receives successful responses to their client-server + API requests, but the events are not propagated into rooms. + + Shadow-banning a user should be used as a tool of last resort and may lead + to confusing or broken behaviour for the client. + + Example: + + POST /_synapse/admin/v1/users/@test:example.com/shadow_ban + {} + + 200 OK + {} + """ + + PATTERNS = admin_patterns("/users/(?P[^/]*)/shadow_ban") + + def __init__(self, hs: "HomeServer"): + self.hs = hs + self.store = hs.get_datastore() + self.auth = hs.get_auth() + + async def on_POST(self, request, user_id): + await assert_requester_is_admin(self.auth, request) + + if not self.hs.is_mine_id(user_id): + raise SynapseError(400, "Only local users can be shadow-banned") + + await self.store.set_shadow_banned(UserID.from_string(user_id), True) + + return 200, {} -- cgit 1.5.1
