# Setting up Synapse Admin (optional)

The playbook can install and configure [synapse-admin](https://github.com/Awesome-Technologies/synapse-admin) for you.

It's a web UI tool you can use to **administrate users and rooms on your Matrix server**.

See the project's [documentation](https://github.com/Awesome-Technologies/synapse-admin) to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.


## Adjusting the playbook configuration

Add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.DOMAIN/vars.yml` file:

```yaml
matrix_synapse_admin_enabled: true
```


## Installing

After configuring the playbook, run the [installation](installing.md) command again:

```
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,start
```


## Usage

After installation, Synapse Admin will be accessible at: `https://matrix.DOMAIN/synapse-admin/`

To use Synapse Admin, you need to have [registered at least one administrator account](registering-users.md) on your server.

The Homeserver URL to use on Synapse Admin's login page is: `https://matrix.DOMAIN`
