<![CDATA[matrix / element user management]]>Hi,
A few question please.
Just installed matrix and element.

Where do I manage users in matrix/element? When I installed it I picked 'manage via app not cloudron.
Where is the dashboard / backend?

Also how do I stop 'open public registrations'?

Also is there matrix / element forum?

Many thanks

I have indeed figured out how to make this work.

  1. Add a user as described before or use the synapse API:

@stantropics said in matrix / element user management:

/bin/matrix-synapse-register-user <path to homeserver.yaml> http://localhost:8008

  1. If you are having problems setting a password I figured out it is not a good idea to manipulate the database, instead use the synapse API.

  2. Until this point manually created users cannot login, you need to chage the config in homeserver.yaml as follows:

password_config:
  enabled: true
  localdb_enabled: true

localdb_enabled is false by default. Change it to true and manually added users can login.

However, I would like to add some rather technical users (bots) that I do not want to add as "real" cloudron users.

I did this in synapse with:

/bin/matrix-synapse-register-user <path to homeserver.yaml> http://localhost:8008

The user seems to be added correctly, but cannot login using e.g. riot. Does anybody know if it is not possible to add users manually?

Element will follow whatever authentication mechanism you setup in Synapse.

On Cloudron, when you install synapse, there are 2 ways to set it up:
