+Introduction
+============
+
+This module is part of the suite of modules that implement invite-based
+account registration for Prosody. The other modules are:
+
+- mod_invites
+- mod_invites_adhoc
+- mod_invites_page
+- mod_invites_register_web
+- mod_register_apps
+
+For details and a full overview, start with the mod_invites documentation.
+
+Details
+=======
+
+This module allows clients to register an account using an invite ('preauth')
+token generated by mod_invites. It implements the protocol described at
+[docs.modernxmpp.org/client/invites](https://docs.modernxmpp.org/client/invites)
+and [XEP-0401 version 0.3.0](https://xmpp.org/extensions/attic/xep-0401-0.3.0.html).
+
+**Note to developers:** the XEP-0401 protocol is expected to change in the future,
+though Prosody will attempt to maintain backwards compatibility with the 0.3.0 protocol
+for as long as necessary.
+
+This module is also responsible for implementing the optional server-side part
+of [XEP-0379: Pre-Authenticated Roster Subscriptions](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0379.html).
+
+**Note to admins:** Loading this module will disable registration for users
+without an invite token by default. Control this behaviour
