Modifying profile through the API modifies them in the rooms for your own user, but not for other users #2635

farialima · 2017-11-03T17:21:38Z

if you modify your display name or your avatar URL using the API ( https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/latest.html#profiles ), then this modifies also the room(s) your belong to (you appear with our new display name & avatar url)
however, if you modify someone else's avatar or display name (if you are administrator), this only sets their profile, and does not modify them in the rooms. It's quite disturbing when you are managing your server and trying to setup users to have some consistency....

This is the HEAD but also earlier versions (I'm on 0.23)
