 In short, it automatically accepts room invites. You can specify that only 1:1 room invites are auto-accepted. Defaults to false if not specified.

+```yml

+# Default settings below. Uncomment and adjust if necessary.
+# matrix_synapse_auto_accept_invites_only_for_direct_messages: false

+# If workers are enabled, you may delegate usage to a specific worker.
