The code looks good, but I'm afraid I have a design change requirement.

Mm, actually I talked to some of the other devs and we agree that changing the behaviour of user_id from under users isn't the best course of action. Additionally, if someone would like to only filter by user_id and not displayname, they'd be unable to do so anymore.

Can we add a new field called user_id_or_displayname which searches both fields? I agree that it's not the prettiest name but it should do what you desire without implementing complex OR functionality for all fields in the API.

Maybe just name to search in both? Anyway a problem with searching in the user_id still is that it also searches inside the domain part. So if you domain has some very common character sequence you will get a lot of users.

This is fine. I'm a little weary that we call the column name in the users table in Synapse which holds User IDs, but that's just an internal detail. If the docs describe it as both user IDs and displaynames then it should be fine.

Anyway a problem with searching in the user_id still is that it also searches inside the domain part. So if you domain has some very common character sequence you will get a lot of users.

You could add another field just for displayname, or are you proposing one for localpart?

My personal opinion is that we would not add separate search fields in the admin UI, so a single query parameter is enough for us.
Searching in both, user_id and displayname at the same time just gives you a few more results than expected in some cases. It will definitely never be precise enough to select exactly everyone with a specific surname.
For the user_id I found a solution to only search inside the localpart, see updated PR.

Moving this comment to a review so we have a new thread.

Mm, yes I think this is starting to make more sense 🙂

I do ask that we add name as an additional parameter to user_id though. We cannot just change an existing parameter name as that is backwards incompatible.

Also, you will need to rebase on latest develop to fix the check-packaging CI fail.

Something odd happened with the build here, I think this might benefit from a merge of develop into it.

This still doesn't address the concern I mentioned. Now user_id will return results from both displayname and name columns. This breaks backwards compatibility.

What I'm asking for is:

  • If user_id is provided, results are filtered according to the name column only.
  • If name is provided, results are filtered according to the name and displayname columns.
  • If both user_id and name are provided, results are filtered according to the name column only.

There is already one unit test that makes use of the name parameter of get_users_paginate in tests/storage/test_main.py.

Oh, indeed! I guess just also testing for Frank in that test would satisfy me.

Synapse 1.20.0rc1 (2020-09-08)
==============================

Removal warning
---------------

Some older clients used a [disallowed character](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.6.1#post-matrix-client-r0-register-email-requesttoken) (`:`) in the `client_secret` parameter of various endpoints. The incorrect behaviour was allowed for backwards compatibility, but is now being removed from Synapse as most users have updated their client. Further context can be found at [\#6766](#6766).

Features
--------

- Add an endpoint to query your shared rooms with another user as an implementation of [MSC2666](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2666). ([\#7785](#7785))
- Iteratively encode JSON to avoid blocking the reactor. ([\#8013](#8013), [\#8116](#8116))
- Add support for shadow-banning users (ignoring any message send requests). ([\#8034](#8034), [\#8092](#8092), [\#8095](#8095), [\#8142](#8142), [\#8152](#8152), [\#8157](#8157), [\#8158](#8158), [\#8176](#8176))
- Use the default template file when its equivalent is not found in a custom template directory. ([\#8037](#8037), [\#8107](#8107), [\#8252](#8252))
- Add unread messages count to sync responses, as specified in [MSC2654](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2654). ([\#8059](#8059), [\#8254](#8254), [\#8270](#8270), [\#8274](#8274))
- Optimise `/federation/v1/user/devices/` API by only returning devices with encryption keys. ([\#8198](#8198))

Bugfixes
--------

- Fix a memory leak by limiting the length of time that messages will be queued for a remote server that has been unreachable. ([\#7864](#7864))
- Fix `Re-starting finished log context PUT-nnnn` warning when event persistence failed. ([\#8081](#8081))
- Synapse now correctly enforces the valid characters in the `client_secret` parameter used in various endpoints. ([\#8101](#8101))
- Fix a bug introduced in v1.7.2 impacting message retention policies that would allow federated homeservers to dictate a retention period that's lower than the configured minimum allowed duration in the configuration file. ([\#8104](#8104))
- Fix a long-standing bug where invalid JSON would be accepted by Synapse. ([\#8106](#8106))
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse v1.12.0 which could cause `/sync` requests to fail with a 404 if you had a very old outstanding room invite. ([\#8110](#8110))
- Return a proper error code when the rooms of an invalid group are requested. ([\#8129](#8129))
- Fix a bug which could cause a leaked postgres connection if synapse was set to daemonize. ([\#8131](#8131))
- Clarify the error code if a user tries to register with a numeric ID. This bug was introduced in v1.15.0. ([\#8135](#8135))
- Fix a bug where appservices with ratelimiting disabled would still be ratelimited when joining rooms. This bug was introduced in v1.19.0. ([\#8139](#8139))
- Fix logging in via OpenID Connect with a provider that uses integer user IDs. ([\#8190](#8190))
- Fix a longstanding bug where user directory updates could break when unexpected profile data was included in events. ([\#8223](#8223))
- Fix a longstanding bug where stats updates could break when unexpected profile data was included in events. ([\#8226](#8226))
- Fix slow start times for large servers by removing a table scan of the `users` table from startup code. ([\#8271](#8271))

Updates to the Docker image
---------------------------

- Fix builds of the Docker image on non-x86 platforms. ([\#8144](#8144))
- Added curl for healthcheck support and readme updates for the change. Contributed by @maquis196. ([\#8147](#8147))

Improved Documentation
----------------------

- Link to matrix-synapse-rest-password-provider in the password provider documentation. ([\#8111](#8111))
- Updated documentation to note that Synapse does not follow `HTTP 308` redirects due to an upstream library not supporting them. Contributed by Ryan Cole. ([\#8120](#8120))
- Explain better what GDPR-erased means when deactivating a user. ([\#8189](#8189))

Internal Changes
----------------

- Add filter `name` to the `/users` admin API, which filters by user ID or displayname. Contributed by Awesome Technologies Innovationslabor GmbH. ([\#7377](#7377), [\#8163](#8163))
- Reduce run times of some unit tests by advancing the reactor a fewer number of times. ([\#7757](#7757))
- Don't fail `/submit_token` requests on incorrect session ID if `request_token_inhibit_3pid_errors` is turned on. ([\#7991](#7991))
- Convert various parts of the codebase to async/await. ([\#8071](#8071), [\#8072](#8072), [\#8074](#8074), [\#8075](#8075), [\#8076](#8076), [\#8087](#8087), [\#8100](#8100), [\#8119](#8119), [\#8121](#8121), [\#8133](#8133), [\#8156](#8156), [\#8162](#8162), [\#8166](#8166), [\#8168](#8168), [\#8173](#8173), [\#8191](#8191), [\#8192](#8192), [\#8193](#8193), [\#8194](#8194), [\#8195](#8195), [\#8197](#8197), [\#8199](#8199), [\#8200](#8200), [\#8201](#8201), [\#8202](#8202), [\#8207](#8207), [\#8213](#8213), [\#8214](#8214))
- Remove some unused database functions. ([\#8085](#8085))
- Add type hints to various parts of the codebase. ([\#8090](#8090), [\#8127](#8127), [\#8187](#8187), [\#8241](#8241), [\#8140](#8140), [\#8183](#8183), [\#8232](#8232), [\#8235](#8235), [\#8237](#8237), [\#8244](#8244))
- Return the previous stream token if a non-member event is a duplicate. ([\#8093](#8093), [\#8112](#8112))
- Separate `get_current_token` into two since there are two different use cases for it. ([\#8113](#8113))
- Remove `ChainedIdGenerator`. ([\#8123](#8123))
- Reduce the amount of whitespace in JSON stored and sent in responses. ([\#8124](#8124))
- Update the test federation client to handle streaming responses. ([\#8130](#8130))

Synapse 1.20.0 (2020-09-22)
===========================

No significant changes since v1.20.0rc5.

Removal warning
---------------

Historically, the [Synapse Admin
API](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/master/docs) has been
accessible under the `/_matrix/client/api/v1/admin`,
`/_matrix/client/unstable/admin`, `/_matrix/client/r0/admin` and
`/_synapse/admin` prefixes. In a future release, we will be dropping support
for accessing Synapse's Admin API using the `/_matrix/client/*` prefixes. This
makes it easier for homeserver admins to lock down external access to the Admin
API endpoints.

Synapse 1.20.0rc5 (2020-09-18)
==============================

In addition to the below, Synapse 1.20.0rc5 also includes the bug fix that was included in 1.19.3.

Features
--------

- Add flags to the `/versions` endpoint for whether new rooms default to using E2EE. ([\#8343](matrix-org/synapse#8343))


Bugfixes
--------

- Fix rate limiting of federation `/send` requests. ([\#8342](matrix-org/synapse#8342))
- Fix a longstanding bug where back pagination over federation could get stuck if it failed to handle a received event. ([\#8349](matrix-org/synapse#8349))


Internal Changes
----------------

- Blacklist [MSC2753](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2753) SyTests until it is implemented. ([\#8285](matrix-org/synapse#8285))


Synapse 1.20.0rc4 (2020-09-16)
==============================

Synapse 1.20.0rc4 is identical to 1.20.0rc3, with the addition of the security fix that was included in 1.19.2.


Synapse 1.20.0rc3 (2020-09-11)
==============================

Bugfixes
--------

- Fix a bug introduced in v1.20.0rc1 where the wrong exception was raised when invalid JSON data is encountered. ([\#8291](matrix-org/synapse#8291))


Synapse 1.20.0rc2 (2020-09-09)
==============================

Bugfixes
--------

- Fix a bug introduced in v1.20.0rc1 causing some features related to notifications to misbehave following the implementation of unread counts. ([\#8280](matrix-org/synapse#8280))
