+register_new_matrix_user(1) -- Used to register new users with a given home server when registration has been disabled
+======================================================================================================================
+
+## SYNOPSIS
+
+`register_new_matrix_user` options...
+
+## DESCRIPTION
+
+**register_new_matrix_user** registers new users with a given home server when
+registration has been disabled. For this to work, the home server must be
+configured with the 'registration_shared_secret' option set.
+
+This accepts the user credentials like the username, password, is user an
+admin or not and registers the user onto the homeserver database. Also,
+a YAML file containing the shared secret can be provided. If not, the
+shared secret can be provided via the command line.
+
+By default it assumes the home server URL to be `https://localhost:8448`.
+This can be changed via the `server_url` command line option.
+
+## FILES
+
+A sample YAML file accepted by `register_new_matrix_user` is described below:
+
+    registration_shared_secret: "s3cr3t"
+

+
+  * `-u`, `--user`:
+    Local part of the new user. Will prompt if omitted.
+
+  * `-p`, `--password`:
+    New password for user. Will prompt if omitted. Supplying the password
