## 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._
