+# Edit Room Membership API
+
+The API allows an administrator to join an user account with a given `user_id`
+to a room with a given `roomIdOrAlias`. You can only modify the membership of
+local users. The room must have join rule `JoinRules.PUBLIC`, which is the
+default for public rooms. If the room has the join rule `JoinRules.INVITE`
+(default for private rooms), the server administrator must have permissions
+to invite users to this room. Per default you can invite users if you are
+member of a room.
+
+## Parameters
+
+The following parameters are available:
+
+* `user_id` - Fully qualified user: for example, `@user:server.com`.
+* `roomIdOrAlias` - The room identifier or alias to join: for example, `!636q39766251:server.com`.
+
+## Usage
+
+```
+POST /_synapse/admin/v1/join/<roomIdOrAlias>
+
+{
+  "user_id": "@user:server.com"
+}
+```
+Including an `access_token` of a server admin.
+
+Response:
+
+```
+{
+  "room_id": "!636q39766251:server.com"
+}
+```
