## Allow replacing master cross-signing key without User-Interactive Auth
This endpoint is not intended for server administrator usage;
we describe it here for completeness.
This API temporarily permits a user to replace their master cross-signing key
without going through
[user-interactive authentication](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.8/client-server-api/#user-interactive-authentication-api) (UIA).
This is useful when Synapse has delegated its authentication to the
[Matrix Authentication Service](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-authentication-service/);
as Synapse cannot perform UIA is not possible in these circumstances.
The API is
```http request
POST /_synapse/admin/v1/users/<user_id>/_allow_cross_signing_replacement_without_uia
{}
```
If the user does not exist, or does exist but has no master cross-signing key,
this will return with status code `404 Not Found`.
Otherwise, a response body like the following is returned, with status `200 OK`:
```json
{
"updatable_without_uia_before_ms": 1234567890
}
```
The response body is a JSON object with a single field:
- `updatable_without_uia_before_ms`: integer. The timestamp in milliseconds
before which the user is permitted to replace their cross-signing key without
going through UIA.
_Added in Synapse 1.97.0._
