Hi, Thanks for your PR! I noticed that this is not working for invite_only rooms:
{ errcode: 'M_FORBIDDEN', error: 'You are not invited to this room.' } },
My exception for an Admin API would be that this works independent of the room state.

I think it depends from room permissions. I had also trouble with auto_join feature with rooms which are private "Only people who have been invited". Which permission has your test room?

My room is invite only (private preset). We checked in the code and the internal API you are using is checking for this.

I had a look in it. Rooms have states either JOIN or INVITE. Public rooms are per default JOIN and private rooms INVITE. To invite somebody you have to be a member of the room.
An admin is not member. That is the reason why an admin is not able to force a new member or invtation.
In my opinion it is a good setting. To force new members by admin in private rooms (like 1:1) is not good.

In our case we use this to sync external groups into matrix based groups.
So if the API is not planned to do so, at least it should be stated in the docs.

The workaround to invite and then to join works fine.

I will make a new updated PR. When your admin is member of each synced group it should also work.
I do not have enough time (and know how) to make a PR for joining private groups.

Synapse 1.13.0 (2020-05-19)
===========================

This release brings some potential changes necessary for certain
configurations of Synapse:

* If your Synapse is configured to use SSO and have a custom
  `sso_redirect_confirm_template_dir` configuration option set, you will need
  to duplicate the new `sso_auth_confirm.html`, `sso_auth_success.html` and
  `sso_account_deactivated.html` templates into that directory.
* Synapse plugins using the `complete_sso_login` method of
  `synapse.module_api.ModuleApi` should instead switch to the async/await
  version, `complete_sso_login_async`, which includes additional checks. The
  former version is now deprecated.
* A bug was introduced in Synapse 1.4.0 which could cause the room directory
  to be incomplete or empty if Synapse was upgraded directly from v1.2.1 or
  earlier, to versions between v1.4.0 and v1.12.x.

Please review [UPGRADE.rst](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/UPGRADE.rst)
for more details on these changes and for general upgrade guidance.

Notice of change to the default `git` branch for Synapse
--------------------------------------------------------

With the release of Synapse 1.13.0, the default `git` branch for Synapse has
changed to `develop`, which is the development tip. This is more consistent with
common practice and modern `git` usage.

The `master` branch, which tracks the latest release, is still available. It is
recommended that developers and distributors who have scripts which run builds
using the default branch of Synapse should therefore consider pinning their
scripts to `master`.

Features
--------

- Extend the `web_client_location` option to accept an absolute URL to use as a redirect. Adds a warning when running the web client on the same hostname as homeserver. Contributed by Martin Milata. ([\#7006](#7006))
- Set `Referrer-Policy` header to `no-referrer` on media downloads. ([\#7009](#7009))
- Add support for running replication over Redis when using workers. ([\#7040](#7040), [\#7325](#7325), [\#7352](#7352), [\#7401](#7401), [\#7427](#7427), [\#7439](#7439), [\#7446](#7446), [\#7450](#7450), [\#7454](#7454))
- Admin API `POST /_synapse/admin/v1/join/<roomIdOrAlias>` to join users to a room like `auto_join_rooms` for creation of users. ([\#7051](#7051))
- Add options to prevent users from changing their profile or associated 3PIDs. ([\#7096](#7096))
- Support SSO in the user interactive authentication workflow. ([\#7102](#7102), [\#7186](#7186), [\#7279](#7279), [\#7343](#7343))
- Allow server admins to define and enforce a password policy ([MSC2000](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2000)). ([\#7118](#7118))
- Improve the support for SSO authentication on the login fallback page. ([\#7152](#7152), [\#7235](#7235))
- Always whitelist the login fallback in the SSO configuration if `public_baseurl` is set. ([\#7153](#7153))
- Admin users are no longer required to be in a room to create an alias for it. ([\#7191](#7191))
- Require admin privileges to enable room encryption by default. This does not affect existing rooms. ([\#7230](#7230))
- Add a config option for specifying the value of the Accept-Language HTTP header when generating URL previews. ([\#7265](#7265))
- Allow `/requestToken` endpoints to hide the existence (or lack thereof) of 3PID associations on the homeserver. ([\#7315](#7315))
- Add a configuration setting to tweak the threshold for dummy events. ([\#7422](#7422))

Bugfixes

- Fix a bug in the federation API which could cause occasional "Failed to get PDU" errors. ([\#7089](#7089))
- Return the proper error (`M_BAD_ALIAS`) when a non-existant canonical alias is provided. ([\#7109](#7109))
- Fix a bug which meant that groups updates were not correctly replicated between workers. ([\#7117](#7117))
- Fix starting workers when federation sending not split out. ([\#7133](#7133))

- Fix --help command-line argument. ([\#7249](#7249))
- Fix room publish permissions not being checked on room creation. ([\#7260](#7260))
- Reject unknown session IDs during user interactive authentication instead of silently creating a new session. ([\#7268](#7268))
- Fix a SQL query introduced in Synapse 1.12.0 which could cause large amounts of logging to the postgres slow-query log. ([\#7274](#7274))
- Persist user interactive authentication sessions across workers and Synapse restarts. ([\#7302](#7302))
- Fixed backwards compatibility logic of the first value of `trusted_third_party_id_servers` being used for `account_threepid_delegates.email`, which occurs when the former, deprecated option is set and the latter is not. ([\#7316](#7316))
- Fix a bug where event updates might not be sent over replication to worker processes after the stream falls behind. ([\#7337](#7337), [\#7358](#7358))
- Fix bad error handling that would cause Synapse to crash if it's provided with a YAML configuration file that's either empty or doesn't parse into a key-value map. ([\#7341](#7341))

- Prevent non-federating rooms from appearing in responses to federated `POST /publicRoom` requests when a filter was included. ([\#7367](#7367))

- Fix bug in `EventContext.deserialize`. ([\#7393](#7393))

- Restore compatibility with non-compliant clients during the user interactive authentication process, fixing a problem introduced in v1.13.0rc1. ([\#7483](#7483))

Any way to replicate this functionality for Room admins? ie. make it so users invited will automatically join without having to accept an invitation first?

Not in general. As dklimpel mentions in #13705, you can try https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse-auto-accept-invite. That'll only work for local users and may accept all invites rather than just ones sent by room admins.
