+# Shutdown room API
+
+Shuts down a room, preventing new joins and moves local users and room aliases automatically
+to a new room. The new room will be created with the user specified by the
+`new_room_user_id` parameter as room administrator and will contain a message
+explaining what happened. Users invited to the new room will have power level
+-10 by default, and thus be unable to speak. The old room's power levels will be changed to
+disallow any further invites or joins.
+
+The local server will only have the power to move local user and room aliases to
+the new room. Users on other servers will be unaffected.
+
+## API
+
+You will need to authenticate with an access token for an admin user.
+
+### URL
+
+`POST /_synapse/admin/v1/shutdown_room/{room_id}`
+
+### URL Parameters
+
+* `room_id` - The ID of the room (e.g `!someroom:example.com`)
+
+### JSON Body Parameters
+
+* `new_room_user_id` - Required. A string representing the user ID of the user that will admin
+                       the new room that all users in the old room will be moved to.
+* `room_name` - Optional. A string representing the name of the room that new users will be
+                invited to.
+* `message` - Optional. A string containing the first message that will be sent as
+              `new_room_user_id` in the new room. Ideally this will clearly convey why the
+               original room was shut down.
+              
+If not specified, the default value of `room_name` is "Content Violation
+Notification". The default value of `message` is "Sharing illegal content on
+othis server is not permitted and rooms in violation will be blocked."
+
+### Response Parameters
+
+* `kicked_users` - An integer number representing the number of users that
+                   were kicked.

+# Message retention policies
+
+Synapse admins can enable support for message retention policies on
+their homeserver. Message retention policies exist at a room level,
+follow the semantics described in
+[MSC1763](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/matthew/msc1763/proposals/1763-configurable-retention-periods.md),
+and allow server and room admins to configure how long messages should
+be kept in a homeserver's database before being purged from it.
+**Please note that, as this feature isn't part of the Matrix
+specification yet, this implementation is to be considered as
+experimental.** 
+
+A message retention policy is mainly defined by its `max_lifetime`
+parameter, which defines how long a message can be kept around after
+it was sent to the room. If a room doesn't have a message retention
+policy, and there's no default one for a given server, then no message
+sent in that room is ever purged on that server.
+
+MSC1763 also specifies semantics for a `min_lifetime` parameter which
+defines the amount of time after which an event _can_ get purged (after
+it was sent to the room), but Synapse doesn't currently support it
+beyond registering it.
+
+Both `max_lifetime` and `min_lifetime` are optional parameters.
+
+Note that message retention policies don't apply to state events.
+
+Once an event reaches its expiry date (defined as the time it was sent
+plus the value for `max_lifetime` in the room), two things happen:
+
+* Synapse stops serving the event to clients via any endpoint.
+* The message gets picked up by the next purge job (see the "Purge jobs"
+  section) and is removed from Synapse's database.
+
+Since purge jobs don't run continuously, this means that an event might
+stay in a server's database for longer than the value for `max_lifetime`
+in the room would allow, though hidden from clients.
+
+Similarly, if a server (with support for message retention policies
+enabled) receives from another server an event that should have been
+purged according to its room's policy, then the receiving server will
+process and store that event until it's picked up by the next purge job,
+though it will always hide it from clients.
+
+
+## Server configuration
+
+Support for this feature can be enabled and configured in the
+`retention` section of the Synapse configuration file (see the
+[sample file](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/v1.7.3/docs/sample_config.yaml#L332-L393)).
+
+To enable support for message retention policies, set the setting
+`enabled` in this section to `true`.
+
+
+### Default policy
+
+A default message retention policy is a policy defined in Synapse's
+configuration that is used by Synapse for every room that doesn't have a
+message retention policy configured in its state. This allows server
+admins to ensure that messages are never kept indefinitely in a server's
+database. 
+
+A default policy can be defined as such, in the `retention` section of
+the configuration file:
+
+```yaml
+  default_policy:
+    min_lifetime: 1d
+    max_lifetime: 1y
+```
+
+Here, `min_lifetime` and `max_lifetime` have the same meaning and level
+of support as previously described. They can be expressed either as a
+duration (using the units `s` (seconds), `m` (minutes), `h` (hours),
+`d` (days), `w` (weeks) and `y` (years)) or as a number of milliseconds.
+
+
+### Purge jobs
+
+Purge jobs are the jobs that Synapse runs in the background to purge
+expired events from the database. They are only run if support for
+message retention policies is enabled in the server's configuration. If
+no configuration for purge jobs is configured by the server admin,
+Synapse will use a default configuration, which is described in the
+[sample configuration file](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/docs/sample_config.yaml#L332-L393).
+
+Some server admins might want a finer control on when events are removed
+depending on an event's room's policy. This can be done by setting the
+`purge_jobs` sub-section in the `retention` section of the configuration
+file. An example of such configuration could be:
+
+```yaml
+  purge_jobs:
+    - longest_max_lifetime: 3d
+      interval: 12h
+    - shortest_max_lifetime: 3d
+      longest_max_lifetime: 1w
+      interval: 1d
+    - shortest_max_lifetime: 1w
+      interval: 2d
+```
+
+In this example, we define three jobs:
+
+* one that runs twice a day (every 12 hours) and purges events in rooms
+  which policy's `max_lifetime` is lower or equal to 3 days.
+* one that runs once a day and purges events in rooms which policy's
+  `max_lifetime` is between 3 days and a week.
+* one that runs once every 2 days and purges events in rooms which
+  policy's `max_lifetime` is greater than a week.
+
+Note that this example is tailored to show different configurations and
+features slightly more jobs than it's probably necessary (in practice, a
+server admin would probably consider it better to replace the two last
+jobs with one that runs once a day and handles rooms which which
+policy's `max_lifetime` is greater than 3 days).
+
+Keep in mind, when configuring these jobs, that a purge job can become
+quite heavy on the server if it targets many rooms, therefore prefer
+having jobs with a low interval that target a limited set of rooms. Also
+make sure to include a job with no minimum and one with no maximum to
+make sure your configuration handles every policy.
+
+As previously mentioned in this documentation, while a purge job that
+runs e.g. every day means that an expired event might stay in the
+database for up to a day after its expiry, Synapse hides expired events
+from clients as soon as they expire, so the event is not visible to
+local users between its expiry date and the moment it gets purged from
+the server's database.
+
+
+### Lifetime limits
+
+**Note: this feature is mainly useful within a closed federation or on
+servers that don't federate, because there currently is no way to
+enforce these limits in an open federation.**
+
+Server admins can restrict the values their local users are allowed to
+use for both `min_lifetime` and `max_lifetime`. These limits can be
+defined as such in the `retention` section of the configuration file:
+
+```yaml
+  allowed_lifetime_min: 1d
+  allowed_lifetime_max: 1y
+```
+
+Here, `allowed_lifetime_min` is the lowest value a local user can set
+for both `min_lifetime` and `max_lifetime`, and `allowed_lifetime_max`
+is the highest value. Both parameters are optional (e.g. setting
+`allowed_lifetime_min` but not `allowed_lifetime_max` only enforces a
+minimum and no maximum).
+
+Like other settings in this section, these parameters can be expressed
+either as a duration or as a number of milliseconds.
+
+
+## Room configuration
+
+To configure a room's message retention policy, a room's admin or
+moderator needs to send a state event in that room with the type
+`m.room.retention` and the following content:
+
+```json
+{
+    "max_lifetime": ...
+}
+```
+
+In this event's content, the `max_lifetime` parameter has the same
+meaning as previously described, and needs to be expressed in
+milliseconds. The event's content can also include a `min_lifetime`
+parameter, which has the same meaning and limited support as previously
+described.
+
+Note that over every server in the room, only the ones with support for
+message retention policies will actually remove expired events. This
+support is currently not enabled by default in Synapse.
+
+
+## Note on reclaiming disk space
+
+While purge jobs actually delete data from the database, the disk space
+used by the database might not decrease immediately on the database's
+host. However, even though the database engine won't free up the disk
+space, it will start writing new data into where the purged data was.
+
+If you want to reclaim the freed disk space anyway and return it to the
+operating system, the server admin needs to run `VACUUM FULL;` (or
+`VACUUM;` for SQLite databases) on Synapse's database (see the related
+[PostgreSQL documentation](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-vacuum.html)).

docs/saml_mapping_providers.md

+# SAML Mapping Providers
+
+A SAML mapping provider is a Python class (loaded via a Python module) that
+works out how to map attributes of a SAML response object to Matrix-specific
+user attributes. Details such as user ID localpart, displayname, and even avatar
+URLs are all things that can be mapped from talking to a SSO service.
+
+As an example, a SSO service may return the email address
+"john.smith@example.com" for a user, whereas Synapse will need to figure out how
+to turn that into a displayname when creating a Matrix user for this individual.
+It may choose `John Smith`, or `Smith, John [Example.com]` or any number of
+variations. As each Synapse configuration may want something different, this is
+where SAML mapping providers come into play.
+
+## Enabling Providers
+
+External mapping providers are provided to Synapse in the form of an external
+Python module. Retrieve this module from [PyPi](https://pypi.org) or elsewhere,
+then tell Synapse where to look for the handler class by editing the
+`saml2_config.user_mapping_provider.module` config option.
+
+`saml2_config.user_mapping_provider.config` allows you to provide custom
+configuration options to the module. Check with the module's documentation for
+what options it provides (if any). The options listed by default are for the
+user mapping provider built in to Synapse. If using a custom module, you should
+comment these options out and use those specified by the module instead.
+
+## Building a Custom Mapping Provider
+
+A custom mapping provider must specify the following methods:
+
+* `__init__(self, parsed_config)`
+   - Arguments:
+     - `parsed_config` - A configuration object that is the return value of the
+       `parse_config` method. You should set any configuration options needed by
+       the module here.
+* `saml_response_to_user_attributes(self, saml_response, failures)`
+    - Arguments:
+      - `saml_response` - A `saml2.response.AuthnResponse` object to extract user
+                          information from.
+      - `failures` - An `int` that represents the amount of times the returned
+                     mxid localpart mapping has failed.  This should be used
+                     to create a deduplicated mxid localpart which should be
+                     returned instead. For example, if this method returns
+                     `john.doe` as the value of `mxid_localpart` in the returned
+                     dict, and that is already taken on the homeserver, this
+                     method will be called again with the same parameters but
+                     with failures=1. The method should then return a different
+                     `mxid_localpart` value, such as `john.doe1`.
+    - This method must return a dictionary, which will then be used by Synapse
+      to build a new user. The following keys are allowed:
+       * `mxid_localpart` - Required. The mxid localpart of the new user.
+       * `displayname` - The displayname of the new user. If not provided, will default to
+                         the value of `mxid_localpart`.
+* `parse_config(config)`
+    - This method should have the `@staticmethod` decoration.
+    - Arguments:
+        - `config` - A `dict` representing the parsed content of the
+          `saml2_config.user_mapping_provider.config` homeserver config option.
+           Runs on homeserver startup. Providers should extract any option values
+           they need here.
+    - Whatever is returned will be passed back to the user mapping provider module's
+      `__init__` method during construction.
+* `get_saml_attributes(config)`
+    - This method should have the `@staticmethod` decoration.
+    - Arguments:
+        - `config` - A object resulting from a call to `parse_config`.
+    - Returns a tuple of two sets. The first set equates to the saml auth
+      response attributes that are required for the module to function, whereas
+      the second set consists of those attributes which can be used if available,
+      but are not necessary.
+
+## Synapse's Default Provider
+
+Synapse has a built-in SAML mapping provider if a custom provider isn't
+specified in the config. It is located at
+[`synapse.handlers.saml_handler.DefaultSamlMappingProvider`](../synapse/handlers/saml_handler.py).
