+# Experimental Features API
+
+This API allows a server administrator to enable or disable some experimental features on a per-user
+basis. Currently supported features are [msc3026](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3026): busy 
+presence state enabled, [msc2654](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/2654): enable unread counts,
+[msc3881](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3881): enable remotely toggling push notifications 
+for another client, and [msc3967](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3967): do not require
+UIA when first uploading cross-signing keys. 
+
+
+To use it, you will need to authenticate by providing an `access_token`
+for a server admin: see [Admin API](../usage/administration/admin_api/).
+
+## Enabling/Disabling Features
+
+This API allows a server administrator to enable experimental features for a given user. The request must 
+provide a body containing the user id and listing the features to enable/disable in the following format:
+```json
+{
+   "features": {
+      "msc3026":true,
+      "msc2654":true
+   }
+}
+```
+where true is  used to enable the feature, and false is used to disable the feature.
+
+
+The API is:
+
+```
+PUT /_synapse/admin/v1/experimental_features/<user_id>
+```
+
+## Listing Enabled Features
+ 
+To list which features are enabled/disabled for a given user send a request to the following API:
+
+```
+GET /_synapse/admin/v1/experimental_features/<user_id>
+```
+
+It will return a list of possible features and indicate whether they are enabled or disabled for the
+user like so:
+```json
+{
+   "features": {
+      "msc3026": true,
+      "msc2654": true,
+      "msc3881": false,
+      "msc3967": false
+   }
+}
+```
