+summary: 'Send invites to MUC affiliated remote JIDs on startup'
+...
+
+Purpose
+=======
+
+This module sends invites to non-local JIDs that are affiliated as "member",
+"owner" or "admin" of rooms. It is a workaround for situations where
+participants are kicked of a room by a server shutdown, to signal to their
+client that they can join the room again.
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+Add the module to the MUC host (not the global modules\_enabled):
+
+```lua
+Component "conference.example.com" "muc"
+    modules_enabled = { "muc_invite_remote_affiliated_jids" }
+```
+
+You can configure a message associated to the invite with the
+`muc_invite_remote_affiliated_jids_reason` configuration entry.
+
+Compatibility
+=============
+
+  ------- -------
+  trunk*  Works
+  ------- -------
+
+*as of 2026-06-08
