+People can't accept room invitations from me
+--------------------------------------------
+
+The typical failure mode here is that you send an invitation to someone 
+to join a room or direct chat, but when they go to accept it, they get an
+error (typically along the lines of "Invalid signature"). They might see

+Using an admin access_token
+###########################
+
+Many of the API calls listed in the documentation here will require to include an admin `access_token`.
+Finding your user's `access_token` is client-dependent, but will usually be shown in the client's settings.
+
+Once you have your `access_token`, to include it in a request, the best option is to add the token to a request header:

+``curl --header "Authorization: Bearer <access_token>" <the_rest_of_your_API_request>``
+
+Fore more details, please refer to the complete `matrix spec documentation <https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.5.0#using-access-tokens>`_.
