@ -63,16 +63,16 @@ if the user is invited to this room, or is joined to one of the listed rooms. If
the user is not a member of at least one of the rooms, the homeserver should return
an error response with HTTP status code of 403 and an `errcode` of `M_FORBIDDEN`.
It is possible for a homeserver receiving a `/make_join` / `/send_join` request
to not know if the user is in some of the allowed rooms (due to not participating
in them). Any allow room that the homeserver cannot verify the membership should
be treated as if the user is not in that room. If the user is not in any of the
rooms (or some of the rooms cannot be verified) the homeserver should reject the
join, as above. The requesting server may wish to attempt to join via another
homeserver. If no servers are in any of the allowed rooms its membership cannot
be verified (and this is a misconfiguration).
TODO Better define errors over federation.
It is possible for a resident homeserver (one which receives a `/make_join` /
`/send_join` request to not know if the user is in some of the allowed rooms (due
to not participating in them). If the user is not in any of the allowed rooms that
are known to the homeserver it should return an error response with HTTP status code
of 400 with an `errcode` of `M_CANNOT_ALLOW`. The joining server should attempt to
join via another resident homeserver. If the resident homeserver knows that the
user is not in *any* of the allowed rooms it should return an error response with
HTTP status code of 403 and an `errcode` of `M_FORBIDDEN`. Note that it is a
configuration error if there are allowed rooms with no participating authorised
servers.
From the perspective of the [auth rules](https://spec.matrix.org/unstable/rooms/v1/#authorization-rules),
the `restricted` join rule has the same behavior as `public`, with the additional
