David Baker c74b817a52 Update screenshot
I don't know why this is now failing, it had already been updated
in https://github.com/element-hq/element-modules/pull/269 . I guess
I'll try updating it again.

Restricted Guests Module

A pair of modules to allow guests to register with Element using the Module API.

Users get a link to an ask to join room, enter their name, and can participate in the room without any further registration.

These guest users

  • have a real user account on the Homeserver.
  • get a username with the (configurable) pattern @guest-.
  • have a display name that always includes the (configurable) suffix (Guest).
  • are restricted in what they can do (can't create rooms or participate in direct messages on the homeserver).
  • are only temporary and will be deactivated after a lifetime of (configurable) 24 hours.

This was initially created to allow non-organisation members to join NeoDateFix meeting rooms, even if they don't have a user account in the private and potentially non-federated homeserver.

See further documentation in the Synapse and Element Web module directories.
