You do not have permission to invite the user to the room. A meaningful ``errcode`` and description error text will be returned. Example reasons for rejections are:
- The invitee has been banned from the room.
- The invitee is already a member of the room.
- The inviter is not currently in the room.
- The inviter's power level is insufficient to invite users to the room.

*Notethat there are two forms of this API, which are documented separately.
This version of the API does not require that the inviter know the Matrix
identifier of the invitee, and instead relies on third party identifiers.*
This API invites a user to participate in a particular room.
They do not start participating in the room until they actually join the
room.
This serves two purposes; firstly, to notify the user that the room
exists (and that their presence is requested). Secondly, some rooms can
only be joined if a user is invited to join it; sending the invite gives
that user permission to join the room.
Only users currently in a particular room can invite other users to
join that room.
If the identity server does not know a Matrix user identifier for the
passed third party identifier, the homeserver will issue an invitation
which can be accepted upon providing proof of ownership of the third
party identifier. This is achieved by requesting a nonce and digest from
the identity server. When a user binds the invited third party
identifier to a Matrix user ID, the identity server will give the user a
If the identity server did know the Matrix user identifier for the
third party identifier, the home server will append a ``m.room.member``
event to the room.
If a digest and nonce are requested from the identity server, the home
server will append a ``m.room.token_based_invite`` event to the room.
