# MSC2689: Allow guests to operate in encrypted rooms
|
|
|
|
MSC751 suggested to allow guests to use several endpoints in order to allow guests to use E2EE.
|
|
I found that guests are able to join encrypted rooms and read messages from other members. But when the
|
|
guest wants to send an event into the room the client receives a "guest access not allowed" error
|
|
for the `/rooms/{room_id}/members` endpoint. I assume the client tries to read the list of room members
|
|
to prepare the encryption of the event for the present members. Tests with a patched Synapse showed that
|
|
allowing guests to use this endpoint results in a normal behaviour and enables guests to communicate in
|
|
encrypted rooms.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Proposal
|
|
|
|
Allow guests to use the `GET /_matrix/client/r0/rooms/{room_id}/members` endpoint to enable them to
|
|
operate properly in encrypted rooms.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Alternatives
|
|
|
|
The list of room members could also be read from the sync. However that would not work with Lazy Loading.
