All account management is done via the homeserver's web UI.
This specification defines extensions to the [OAuth Authorization Server
Metadata registry](https://www.iana.org/assignments/oauth-parameters/oauth-parameters.xhtml#authorization-server-metadata)
to offer clients a way to deep-link to the account management capabilities of
the homeserver to allow the user to complete the account management operations
in a browser.
##### Account management URL discovery
The [OAuth 2.0 authorization server metadata](#server-metadata-discovery) is
extended to include the following **optional** fields.
{{% definition path="schemas/oauth2-account-management-server-metadata" %}}
##### Account management URL parameters
The account management URL MAY accept the following minimum query parameters.
{{% definition path="schemas/oauth2-account-management-url" %}}
##### Account management URL actions
Account management actions are unique to the application. They SHOULD follow the
[Common Namespaced Identifier Grammar](/appendices/#common-namespaced-identifier-grammar)
where feasible. The Matrix-specific actions are:
| Action | Description |
|----------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `org.matrix.profile` | The user wishes to view/edit their profile (name, avatar, contact details). |
| `org.matrix.devices_list` | The user wishes to view a list of their devices. |
| `org.matrix.device_view` | The user wishes to view the details of a specific device. A `device_id` SHOULD be provided. |
| `org.matrix.device_delete` | The user wishes to delete/log out a specific device. A `device_id` SHOULD be provided. |
| `org.matrix.account_deactivate` | The user wishes to deactivate their account. |
| `org.matrix.cross_signing_reset` | The user wishes to reset their cross-signing identity. Servers SHOULD use this action in the URL of the [`m.oauth`](#oauth-authentication) UIA type. |
### Account moderation
