- ⚠ [Migrating an existing Synapse homeserver to Matrix Authentication Service](#migrating-an-existing-synapse-homeserver-to-matrix-authentication-service) does not currently seem to preserve the "admin" flag for users (as found in the Synapse database). All users are imported as non-admin - see [element-hq/matrix-authentication-service#3440](https://github.com/element-hq/matrix-authentication-service/issues/3440). You may need update the Matrix Authentication Service's database manually and adjust the `can_request_admin` column in the `users` table to `true` for users that need to be administrators (e.g. `UPDATE users SET can_request_admin = true WHERE username = 'someone';`)

MAS is quick & lightweight and should be stable enough already, but this is something to keep in mind when making the switch. - ⚠ Delegating user authentication to MAS causes **your Synapse server to be completely dependant on one more service** for its operations.
