 #encryption_enabled_by_default_for_room_type: invite
 
+# Override the default power levels for rooms created on this server, per
+# room creation preset.
+#
+# The appropriate dictionary for the room preset will be applied on top
+# of the existing power levels content.
+#
+# Useful if you know that your users need special permissions in rooms
+# that they create (e.g. to send particular types of state events without
+# needing an elevated power level).  This takes the same shape as the
+# `power_level_content_override` parameter in the /createRoom API, but
+# is applied before that parameter.
+#
+# Valid keys are some or all of `private_chat`, `trusted_private_chat`
+# and `public_chat`. Inside each of those should be any of the
+# properties allowed in `power_level_content_override` in the
+# /createRoom API. If any property is missing, its default value will
+# continue to be used. If any property is present, it will overwrite
+# the existing default completely (so if the `events` property exists,
+# the default event power levels will be ignored).
