To allow supplying the `client_secret` in a file, instead of directly in the configuration. I've found that ESS prefer this method in the past, so the entire config does not need to be a secret.
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.
