+- Edit your `odoo.cfg` configuration file:
+- Add the module `module_change_auto_install` in the
+  `server_wide_modules` list.
+- (optional) Add a new entry `modules_auto_install_disabled` to mark a
+  list of modules as NOT auto installable.
+  The environment variable ``ODOO_MODULES_AUTO_INSTALL_DISABLED`` can also be set.
+- (optional) Add a new entry `modules_auto_install_enabled` to mark a
+  list of modules as auto installable. This feature can be usefull for
+  companies that are hosting a lot of Odoo instances for many customers,
+  and want some modules to be always installed.
+  The environment variable ``ODOO_MODULES_AUTO_INSTALL_ENABLED`` can also be set.
+
+The values in the configuration file takes precedence over the environment variable
+values.
+
+**Typical Settings**
+
+``` cfg
+server_wide_modules = web,module_change_auto_install
+
+modules_auto_install_disabled =
+    partner_autocomplete,
+    iap,
+    mail_bot
+
+modules_auto_install_enabled =
+    web_responsive:web,
+    base_technical_features,
+    disable_odoo_online,
+    account_usability
+```
+
+When using environment variables, the same configuration is:
+
+``` shell
+export ODOO_MODULES_AUTO_INSTALL_DISABLED=partner_autocomplete,iap,mail_bot
+export ODOO_MODULES_AUTO_INSTALL_ENABLED=web_responsive:web,base_technical_features,disable_odoo_online,account_usability
+```
+
+
+Run your instance and check logs. Modules that has been altered should
+be present in your log, at the load of your instance:
+
+``` shell
+INFO db_name odoo.addons.module_change_auto_install.patch: Module 'iap' has been marked as NOT auto installable.
+INFO db_name odoo.addons.module_change_auto_install.patch: Module 'mail_bot' has been marked as NOT auto installable.
+INFO db_name odoo.addons.module_change_auto_install.patch: Module 'partner_autocomplete' has been marked as NOT auto installable.
+INFO db_name odoo.modules.loading: 42 modules loaded in 0.32s, 0 queries (+0 extra)
+```
+
+**Advanced Configuration Possibilities**
+
+if your `odoo.cfg` file contains the following configuration:
+
+``` cfg
+modules_auto_install_enabled =
+    account_usability,
+    web_responsive:web,
+    base_technical_features:,
+    point_of_sale:sale/purchase
+```
+
+The behaviour will be the following:
+
+- `account_usability` module will be installed as soon as all the
+  default dependencies are installed. (here `account`)
+- `web_responsive` module will be installed as soon as `web` is
+  installed. (Althought `web_responsive` depends on `web` and `mail`)
+- `base_technical_features` will be ALWAYS installed
+- `point_of_sale` module will be installed as soon as `sale` and
+  `purchase` module are installed.
+
+When using environment variables, the same configuration is:
+
+``` shell
+export ODOO_MODULES_AUTO_INSTALL_ENABLED=account_usability,web_responsive:web,base_technical_features:,point_of_sale:sale/purchase
+```

+In odoo, by default some modules are marked as auto installable by the
+`auto_install` key present in the manifest.
+
+- This feature is very useful for "glue" modules that allow two modules
+  to work together. (A typical example is `sale_stock` which allows
+  `sale` and `stock` modules to work together).
+- However, Odoo SA also marks some modules as auto installable, even
+  though this is not technically required. This can happen for modules
+  the company wants to promote like `iap`, modules with a big wow effect
+  like `partner_autocomplete`, or some modules they consider useful by
+  default like `account_edi`. See the discussion:
+  <https://github.com/odoo/odoo/issues/71190>
+
+This module allows to change by configuration, the list of auto
+installable modules, adding or removing some modules to auto install.
