# Shutdown room API
Shuts down a room, preventing new joins and moves local users and room aliases automatically
to a new room. The new room will be created with the user specified by the
`new_room_user_id` parameter as room administrator and will contain a message
explaining what happened. Users invited to the new room will have power level
-10 by default, and thus be unable to speak. The old room's power levels will be changed to
disallow any further invites or joins.
The local server will only have the power to move local user and room aliases to
the new room. Users on other servers will be unaffected.

## API
You will need to authenticate with an access token for an admin user.

### URL Parameters
* `room_id` - The ID of the room (e.g `!someroom:example.com`)

the new room that all users in the old room will be moved to.
