Actions & commands

Making a user an admin and creating a token — Making a user an admin from the menu, then creating a token with a command.

From a row

enter on a row offers what can be done to the record it shows:

Section	Actions
Users	set password…, make admin / revoke admin, deactivate, deactivate and erase; reactivate… on a deactivated account
Devices	sign out
Tokens	new token…, revoke
Rooms	ban / unban, shut down, delete and purge
Media	delete, quarantine / lift quarantine
Federation	purge its media, block / unblock
Reports	dismiss
Overview, Settings	reload config, back up database

Destructive actions ask first. The outcome, done or failed with the server's reason, shows in a notice, and the sections it changed are fetched again. Shutting down or purging a room and backing up run as tasks.

From the prompt

: opens the command prompt. A bare name like bob means @bob on your server; a room can be named by its alias.

Guard rails

The server refuses what would lock an admin out or make no sense: acting on the server user, deactivating yourself, revoking your own admin, signing out the device you're using, banning or deleting the admin room, or revoking the config file's token. phantom cannot stop a task once it has started.
